The night of <b>November 1, 1954<\/b> was a turning point in this regard when the\u00a0 first bullets were fired and a fierce war began that lasted nearly 7 years. Great epics were made, despite the lack of equipment, numbers and weakness of armament.<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>The Algerian War of Independence began in November 1954 and ended in 1962. The war was very brutal and long, and was the most recent major turning point in Algeria&#8217;s history. It ultimately united Algerians and raised the value of independence and the philosophy of anticolonialism into the national consciousness. Abusive tactics of the French Army remains a controversial subject in France to this day.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the early morning hours (12:00 am) of 1 November 1954, the National Liberation Army (L&#8217;arm\u00e9e de Lib\u00e9ration Nationale\u2014FLN) launched attacks throughout Algeria in the opening salvo of a war of independence. An important watershed in this war was the<strong> massacre of civilians near the town of Philippeville in August 1955<\/strong>. More than 12,000 Muslims perished in an orgy of bloodletting by the armed forces and police. After Philippeville, all-out war began in Algeria. The FLN fought largely using guerrilla tactics whilst the French counter-insurgency tactics often included severe reprisals and repression.<\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"IWlvl73eyC\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/algeria-third-economy-on-the-continent-africa-strategic-locationhuge-economic-potential\/\">Algeria, Third Economy on the Continent Africa, Strategic Location,Huge Economic Potential<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Algeria, Third Economy on the Continent Africa, Strategic Location,Huge Economic Potential&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/algeria-third-economy-on-the-continent-africa-strategic-locationhuge-economic-potential\/embed\/#?secret=lMj2B3iPVn#?secret=IWlvl73eyC\" data-secret=\"IWlvl73eyC\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>1.5 Million Algerians are estimated to have died during the war<\/strong>, and more than 2\u00a0million, out of a total Muslim population of 9 or 10\u00a0million, were made into refugees or forcibly relocated into government-controlled camps. Much of the countryside and agriculture was devastated, along with the modern economy, which had been dominated by urban European settlers.<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>The French occupation forces committed gruesome human rights violations<\/strong> against the innocent Algerian civilians during the war for independence that was the basic right of the Algerian people.
