1963 AD–1967 AD
Insurgency, British withdrawal and South Yemeni independence
British Empire · Colonization & sovereignty · War & conquest · Resistance & colonized agency · Decolonization & independence
From 1963, the National Liberation Front and FLOSY fought British rule and each other during the Aden Emergency. The Aden, Perim and Kuria Muria Islands Act supplied the legal basis for relinquishing colonial sovereignty, while rapid political deterioration brought forward the intended withdrawal. British rule ended on 29 November 1967 and the People’s Republic of Southern Yemen was born the next day under the NLF; the sequence shows decolonization driven by local insurgency as well as London’s strategic decisions
