Historical Context of the Evian Accords

The start of the Algerian war in 1954 has its root in the growing Algerian nationalist movement. The population was asked to fight in the Second World War alongside the French. In exchange for their duty, they demanded more political and economic rights which were refused^[1]. The tensions between the two parties rose when the National Liberation Front (FLN) called for independence in their Declaration of 1 November 1954^[2]. The French Government led by Pierre Mendès France declined their requests because of the pressure established by the pieds-noirs and the political context in France^[3]

The war escalated until 1958 with the end of the Fourth Republic and the arrival of Charles de Gaulle to power. This accelerated the process of independence. The 16th September 1959, he acknowledged the principle of self-determination for Algeria^[4]. He recognised the FLN as chosen intermediary to negotiate the terms for independence which led to the referendum on Algerian self-determination in January, 8th 1961 for both France and Algeria. The outcome of the referendum is the negotiations between the French government and the FLN in Evian between March 7 and March 18, 1962 leading to the Accords^[5].
