Event
A name for the violent resistance campaign against French control of Algeria, centered in the city of Algiers in the 1950s in the midst of the Algerian War. Though French forces would successfully suppress FLN activity in Algiers, the effort would be costly, and ultimately, France would relinquish its control over Algeria.

Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
