Yes, there have been many wars for thousands of years in North Africa. Most recently the Algerians fought for years to regain their independence from France, a war which culminated in the creation of the modern, independent state of Algeria in 1961. Many Algerians fought as part of the French military in WWII. The first land combat against the Germans after the US entered WWII involved landings in Morocco and Algeria November 8, 1942. There was not much actual combat in Algeria, but Algiers was an important headquarters city for a time, and Allied airfields operated at Tebessa and Bone.
