The Kongo Civil War (1665–1709) was a war of succession between rival houses of the Kingdom of Kongo. The war waged throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries, between the House of Kinlaza and House of Kimpanzu. Numerous other factions entered the conflcit, claiming descent from one or both parties, such as the Água Rosada of Kibangu and the da Silva of Soyo. By the end of the war, Kongo's vaunted capital had been destroyed and many Bakongo were sold into the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
