FLN vs FranceStrategic EnvironmentThe strategic environment that surrounded the war in Algeria allowed the FLN to coerce the French into granting them independence through terrorism. The FLN had strong support from outside nations that provided it with materiel resources and political support. The external support that proved invaluable here was the international political support that various Arab and Asian states provided, voicing concern over France’s imperialist actions in Algeria. Overall, the most important resource the FLN received because of its value in achieving success was international, political support for Algeria’s independence that many nations provided. The Tamil Tigers additionally had broad domestic and international support via the large Tamil diaspora that allowed them to develop substantial conventional capabilities to the point of challenging Sri Lankan dominance across the island.
