Chibinda Ilunga founded an empire named after one of these two ethnic groups which copied the arts and system of sacred kingship, or balopwe, from the other. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name either of these two ethnic groups that established large early-modern empires in Katanga and neighboring parts of Angola and Zambia, from which the related Songye (“song-gay”) and Chokwe peoples derive.
ANSWER: Luba OR Lunda [accept Baluba, Luba Empire, Tshiluba, Luba-Kasaï, Kiluba, or Luba-Katanga in place of “Luba”; accept Balunda, Lunda Empire, or Chilunda in place of “Lunda”]
[10e] Although once closely allied, tensions grew between the Lunda and the Luba due to this country favoring the Luba during its brutal colonization of the Congo under Leopold II.
ANSWER: Belgium [or Kingdom of Belgium; or Koninkrijk België; or Royaume de Belgique]
[10m] This aristocratic Lunda family helped stoke fears of Luba domination under Belgian rule. A politician from this family with the first name Moïse (“mo-EEZ”) declared the breakaway State of Katanga in 1960.
ANSWER: Tshombe (“CHOM-bay”) family [accept Moïse (Kapenda) Tshombe] (Moïse Tshombe was in large part motivated by a desire to regain the glory of the Lunda Empire.)
