==Origins==
The Imbangala were people, possibly from Central Africa, who appeared in Angola during the early 17th century. Their origins are still debated. There is general agreement that they were not the same [[Jagas]] that attacked the [[Kingdom of Kongo]] during the reign of [[Alvaro I of Kongo|Alvaro I]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Miller |first=Joseph C. |date=1972 |title=The Imbangala and the Chronology of Early Central African History |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/180754 |journal=The Journal of African History |volume=13 |issue=4 |pages=549–574 |doi=10.1017/S0021853700011932 |jstor=180754 |s2cid=162591680 |issn=0021-8537}}</ref>
In the 1960s, [[Jan Vansina]] and David Birmingham hypothesized that the oral traditions of the [[Lunda Empire]] suggested that both groups of Jaga marauders originated in the Lunda Empire (present-day [[Democratic Republic of the Congo|Democratric Republic of Congo]] and [[Zambia]]) under leader Kinguri and had fled 1550 and 1612.<ref name=":0" /> Another theory is that the Imbangala were a local people of southern Angola originating from the [[Bié Plateau|Bie Plateau]] or the coastal regions west of the highlands.<ref name=":0" />
