What caused the Algerian war?

Answer 1

The Algerian War (1954-1962) was primarily caused by the long-standing resentment against French colonial rule, which had lasted for over a century. The desire for independence grew among the Algerian population, fueled by economic disparities, political exclusion, and cultural repression. The National Liberation Front (FLN) emerged as a key group advocating for independence, leading to a violent uprising against French authorities. The conflict escalated as both sides engaged in brutal tactics, ultimately resulting in Algeria gaining independence in 1962.
