The Algerian War of Independence
The Algerian War (1954–1962) was a brutal eight-year conflict between France and Algerian nationalists seeking independence. It ended with Algeria's freedom, the collapse of France's Fourth Republic, and the exodus of nearly a million European settlers, leaving a complex legacy of violence and decolonization.
