📅 1 November 1954 📍 Algerije, Frankrijk

The National Liberation Front issued a proclamation and coordinated attacks across Algeria, calling for national independence and an end to French colonial rule. The uprising followed decades of settler domination and the 1945 Sétif, Guelma, and Kherrata massacres. France answered with a long counterinsurgency; the conflict became a central anticolonial struggle of the postwar era.
