The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of London, 1890

"The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of London, 1890" So that is the name the English give to the Ultimatum...no doubt the victors always write history... Teixant (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The 1890 British Ultimatum refers to a memorandum sent to the Portuguese Government by Lord Salisbury on 11 January 1890 in which he demanded a Portuguese withdrawal from areas of what is now Zimbabwe or Malawi where Portuguese and British claims overlapped. The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1891 signed in Lisbon on 11 June 1891, by which Portugal granted a lease of Chinde is a different thing, see the two separate articles on them. The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of London, 1890 is another thing entirely: this was signed in London on 20 August 1890, but was never ratified by the Portuguese Cortes when presented to it on 30 August, so it never had effect. As far as I know, neither the 1890 British Ultimatum nor the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of London, 1890 had anything to do with Chinde, only the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1891.
