The FLN launches an armed uprising against French rule

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 1 November 1954 📍 Algerije

Coordinated attacks and the FLN’s declaration marked the beginning of the war for independence. The uprising challenged French claims that Algeria was an integral part of France and demanded national sovereignty. The conflict brought severe violence to civilians and communities; a decolonial account records Algerian resistance while also documenting attacks on civilians by all parties and the much greater coercive capacity of the colonial state.
