Question

Vigilante attacks on civilians on one side of this conflict were pejoratively nicknamed “rat-hunts.” (-5[1])The non-Irish “Red Hand” terrorist organization carried out a series of bombings and assassinations targeting one side of this conflict. One battle in this conflict began after the bombing of the Milk Bar Café. One side’s use of torture in this conflict was later deemed “necessary” by a colonel serving under General Jacques Massu. Thousands of bombings towards the end of this conflict were carried out by a far-right organization founded by Raoul Salan, the OAS. Many pieds-noirs (“pyay-nwarr”) emigrated en masse following this conflict, which ended with the signing of the Évian Accords by the FLN. For 10 points, name this colonial war (10[1])in which a North African nation seceded from France. ■END■
