The Algerian War (1954-1962) had significant impacts on France and its colonies, marking a pivotal moment in the decolonization process. The conflict was characterized by intense violence and complex political dynamics, leading to Algeria’s eventual independence. For France, the war sparked division and debate within the government and society, questioning the country's colonial policies and the moral implications of its actions. The war galvanized anti-colonial movements within other French colonies, inspiring similar struggles for independence. It dramatically altered France's relationship with its former colonies, leading to a reevaluation of its role on the global stage.
