On July 5, 1962, the independence of the North African country was announced in Algiers. The cease-fire had been proclaimed a few months earlier, following the signing of the Evian Agreements of March 18, 1962, thus putting an end to eight years of war between France and Algeria.
The Evian Accords are the result of negotiations between the representatives of France and those of the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic (GPRA). They result in an immediate cease-fire applied to the entire Algerian territory. A referendum is held in France on April 8 and in Algeria on July 1. 90.7% of voters in mainland France and 99.72% of voters in Algeria approve the Evian Accords.
