Today in Labor History November 1, 1954: Algerians revolted against French colonial rule, beginning a bloody 7½ year war which ultimately resulted in Algerian independence. Over 150,000 FLN militants died in the war and 250,000-1,350,000 civilians died, depending on the source.
Gillo Pontecorvo made a really great film about the war called the Battle of Algiers. Most of the actors were non-professional local actors who had lived through the real battle. Ennio Morricone composed the film's score.
