The Battle of Algiers

invaded Third world countries and aided these countries with military help like Cuba and Laos in order to fight communism or capitalism, but these colonized or dependent peoples felt like they were being forced to ally with the U.S. or Soviets in the battle between communism and capitalism. Fanon explains that Cold War politics played a major role in decolonization because these colonized countries looked towards the U.S. and Soviet Union to support them against the colonizers, which would bring them

by the colonists’ ideals. This was the case for both Algiers and India. These two countries were being controlled by that one principle of the colonizers which is that they are better and therefore should be in control. In the case of India, they were being oppressed by the British and deprived of having their own land for themselves. Then there was Fanon’s battle, which had a different approach to it.

the Ottoman Empire attacked the Hungarians in the sixteenth century, they triggered numerous conflicts lasting many years that would leave devastating battle scars on Hungary’s face. It all started when the Sultan of the Ottoman’s waged a war that would change the route of Hungary’s history forever: The Battle of Mohács. Long before this battle for conquest could have begun, the Ottomans were greatly threatened by a force from the East. The Persian Safavi dynasty was one of the most dominant powers

This essay argues that the Algerian FLN armed group (Front de Liberation National) had a considerable impact on shaping the landscape of post- Second World War France and ultimately Europe. An emerging sub-state terrorist organization devoted to put an end to French colonial domination of Algeria (1830-1962) throughout the 1950s, the FLN efficiently ruined France’s dreams of carrying on its position as a global power, in which consequently furthered France to commit itself to the nascent European
