independent Algeria

Independent Algeria refers to the period after 1962 when Algeria gained sovereignty from French colonial rule. This marked the end of over 130 years of French domination, following a prolonged and often brutal struggle known as the Algerian War of Independence. Achieving independence allowed Algeria to establish its own government, national identity, and policies, moving from colonial control to self-rule. It was a significant moment of decolonization in Africa, symbolizing the country's fight for self-determination and laying the foundation for its future development and sovereignty.
