Abstract

The Algerian Revolution, which began on November 1, 1954, is regarded as one of the most pivotal Arab revolutions of the 20th century. It emerged as a symbol of freedom, not only for Algeria but also for the broader Arab and Third World struggles for independence. The revolution, fueled by limited resources, quickly gained momentum and led to Algeria’s independence on July 5, 1962. Central to its success was the determination of its leaders and the unwavering support of the Algerian people in resisting French colonial rule, which sought to erase Algeria’s cultural, linguistic, and religious identity. The revolution was deeply influenced by Islamic beliefs and Arab heritage, positioning the struggle for independence as both a national and religious cause. The revolutionaries’ ethical principles, grounded in self-sacrifice and a commitment to their land and faith, shaped the course of the conflict and were vital to the achievement of independence. This raises questions about the role of religious and spiritual factors in the revolution and how they influenced its strategies, decisions, and ultimate success.
