Algerian Nationalist Movement

The Algerian Nationalist Movement was a movement advocating for Algeria’s independence from French colonial rule. Emerging in the early 20th century, it aimed to promote Algerian identity, culture, and political autonomy. Over time, groups like the National Liberation Front (FLN) led a fierce struggle, including armed resistance, culminating in the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962). The movement sought to end colonial domination and establish an independent Algerian state, which was achieved in 1962. It played a crucial role in shaping Algeria's national identity and sovereignty through political activism and armed resistance against colonial authorities.
