The Role Of The Algerian Community In France In Supporting The Liberation Revolution 1954-1962

Authors : Achouri Ahmed .

Abstract

The French occupation of Algeria in 1830 led to the deprivation of Algerians of their rights and lands, forcing them to migrate to France in search of work under harsh conditions and for meager wages, in addition to being subjected to military service. The interaction of Algerian migrants with European societies and the spread of the principles of freedom and self-determination contributed to the development of their national and political consciousness. They organized themselves into associations and parties that demanded rights and then independence, and this played a prominent role in supporting the Algerian War of Independence, which broke out on November 1, 1954.
