The three different rebel groups in Angola recently started to fight one another, initiating what is being called the Angola Crisis. The major powers involved in the Cold War, which is currently happening, all are supplying at least one of the groups. The US and China both sent troops to the FNLA, and the US sent troops to UNTITA as well. The


The US failure to win over Angola opened the eyes of the superpowers and their influence on third world countries. This situation led to the end of detente between Russia and the United States, and the Angola crisis ended a standstill in US and Cuban relations.
other side of the major powers, Russia and Cuba, both sent aid to the MPLA. This is what
