Abstract

European governments have multiple positions towards the Liberation War of 1954-1962 .when the liberation revolution broke out on the first of November 1954, the positions of most European governments such Britain, Turkey and Italy were inclined towards France, considering that what is happening in Algeria is a French internal matter, based on what the French propaganda was endorsing, while the positions of other European governments were characterized by conservatism or neutrality, for instance Denmark, Switzerland and Austria, which prompted the National Liberation Front to strengthen its military and diplomatic work at the internal and external levels, to exhaust the enemy's armed forces and deny its claims on the one hand, and on the other hand to prove to the world in general and Europe in particular that what is happening in Algeria is a liberation action. Due to the various mechanisms of diplomatic action that it followed during the liberation revolution, the National Liberation Front was able to mobilize the positions of the Eastern European governments to sustain the Algerian case diplomatically during autumn of 1955, and then it developed into military and political support until independence, comparable to what the governments of Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria did. What stimulated the National Liberation Front to expand its diplomacy to the countries of Scandinavia in 1957, where it was able to win the positions of the government of Sweden and the government of Norway in favor of the Algerian cause, while it failed in Denmark, Finland and Iceland, the latter stayed neutral until independence, and this failure did not diminish The determination of the National Liberation Front, which began to increase its diplomatic effort in the countries of the Western camp in 1958, The Front was able to convince public opinion in Western Europe of the justice of the Algerian issue, and it became a pressure on the governments of the countries of this camp, forcing them to support the Algerian cause, even tacitly, similar to what happened in the Netherlands, Belgium and Federal Germany. The various activities that support the Algerian cause, and that was in the 1960s, and this position continued until independence, which validates the remarkable success of the diplomacy of the National Liberation Front during the 1954-1962 liberation revolution, that imposed the logic of justice for the Algerian case on European governments with their various ideologies.
