A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on March 19, 2004, November 1, 2005, November 1, 2006, and November 1, 2013.

How can "FLN terrorism in French Algeria" be a cause for the 'Algerian War of Independence'? If anything it would a tactic within that war. Surely the cause is the French colonial rule.

Can someone remove this photo? It has nothing to do with the Algerian war but represents nowadays Corsican independentists, FLNC meaning "front de liberation nationale de la Corse"

". The most notable manifestation of the new urban campaign was the Battle of Algiers, which began on September 30, 1956, when three women placed bombs at three sites including the downtown office of Air France."

Dear friends,

The events that generally constitute the Battle happened in 1957, not 1956. Although the date above for the bombings is apparently correct, (The quote seems to be from the LOC country study on Algeria.) The Battle for Algiers began On January 28, 1957 following the national strike.

Specifica dates of interest:

28 January: General strike begins in Algiers which is broken by the paras. 5 March: Larbi Ben M'hidi, FLN leader captured on 25 February, dies in custody. 21 May: Fall of the Mollet government. 29 May: An FLN commando unit massacres all the men in the village of Melouza who belong to the rival MNA. 12 September: Resignation of Paul Teitgen, secretary general for the police in Algiers, who protests at the torture methods used by the paras. 24 September: Head of the Algiers FLN, Yacef Saadi, is arrested in the Casbah.

The Battle of Algiers ends.

This picture should be removed. It's a scene from Gillo Pontecorvo's "Battle of Algiers", not a real photo. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22838-2003Sep3.html

Since Algeria won the war, it would be a better idea to call it Algerian Independance War just like the american independance war Stoutstouta (talk) 14:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it would also be a good idea to talk about the consequences of the Algerian independance : it resulted into the development of anticolonialism in Africa and Asia and the fall of France's IVth République: https://gwonline.unc.edu/node/11722 https://daily.jstor.org/algerian-war-cause-celebre-anticolonialsm/ https://www.britannica.com/event/Algerian-War Stoutstouta (talk) 15:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read Ganser's book. What does he say the role of Gladio was? The article doesn't mention it outside the infobox Prezbo (talk) 00:23, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This war did not lead to the end of The French Empire, just led it’s decline. Leninistpython (talk) 01:57, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
