Abstract EN

In this study, we dealt with the subject of the French armed forces operating in Algeria between 1954-1958, and their confrontation with the Algerian revolution.

successive French governments from 1954 until the beginning of 1958 used all possible means, material, human and moral, to eliminate the revolution, which began to spread little by little.

throughout the country, hundreds of thousands of French soldiers, mercenaries, nationalist and kinetic teams were recruited, not to mention the use of several NATO forces and equipment, as they used during this period modern and internationally prohibited weapons of war, and with dense air cover that exceeded hundreds of bombs and helicopters, this military arsenal.

the colonial wars in history did not see the magnitude, strength and intensity of confronting the revolution and eliminating it completely.

in this study, we relied on important documents from archival documents related to the Algerian revolution, which is the archive of the French ministry of defense, which is preserved in the Palais de Vincennes in Paris in the historical department of the land army (SHAT) and the historical department of the air force (SHAA), and in the information department in the office of the minister residing in Algeria (SICMA).
