The decolonization of North Africa primarily occurred in the mid-20th century, with significant events including Algeria's war of independence from France (1954-1962), Egypt's revolution against British control (1952), and Libya gaining independence from Italy in 1951. These movements were fueled by nationalist sentiments, anti-colonial struggles, and the broader context of post-World War II decolonization trends. Ultimately, the region saw a wave of independence movements that led to the establishment of sovereign states throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
