National Liberation Front

National Liberation Front is a common name for guerrilla organisations fighting to free their country from foreign rule, or at least claiming to be such an organisation. The term is typically associated with left wing politics.

National Liberation Fronts include:

• An Albanian guerrilla group fighting Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany during World War II. The group was led by Enver Hoxha, who later became prime minister of Albania. See History of Albania.

• The National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam, also known as the "Viet Cong," a guerrilla group fighting the United States Army and the South Vietnamese government in the Vietnam War.

• The Front de Libération Nationale, an Algerian group fighting for independence from France during the 1950s and 1960s, which later became the sole Algerian party, and is now one among many Algerian parties.
