War of National Liberation

The War of National Liberation refers to conflicts where a group of people fights to gain independence from colonial or oppressive control. These wars typically arise when a population seeks to establish a nation-state, asserting its rights and identity against foreign powers or authoritarian regimes. A famous example is the struggle for independence in Algeria from French rule in the 1950s and 1960s. Such wars are often characterized by a combination of political, social, and military actions, aiming not just for independence but also for the creation of a unified national identity.
