Algerian independence struggle

The Algerian independence struggle was a prolonged conflict from 1954 to 1962, where Algerians fought against French colonial rule to achieve sovereignty. It involved guerrilla warfare, political activism, and efforts to garner international support. The National Liberation Front (FLN) led the resistance, facing severe military suppression. The conflict caused significant violence and societal upheaval. International pressures and negotiations eventually led to the Évian Accords, granting Algeria independence in 1962. This struggle marked a key chapter in decolonization, emphasizing national self-determination and ending France’s colonial empire in North Africa.
