The “Years of Lead” (Corsican: Anni di Piombu; French: Années de plomb) was an eleven-year period of large-scale political violence and guerrilla warfare in Corsica involving the French government and a number of Corsican nationalist guerrilla groups. Mainly a three-way conflict until 1996, it was composed of the French government, the FLNC-Canal Habituel (FLNC-Canale Abituale, FLNC-CA), and the FLNC-Canal Historique (FLNC-Canale Storicu, FLNC-CS). After 1996, the conflict escalated due to the split of the FLNC-5 May (FLNC-5 Maghju, FLNC-5M) from the FLNC-CA and Fronte Ribellu from the FLNC-CS. In 1999, Armata Corsa split from the FLNC-CS and the other guerrilla groups unified to form the FLNC-Union of Combatants (FLNC-Unione di i Cumbattenti, FLNC-UC). It ended with the assassination of François Santoni, leader of Armata Corsa, in August of 2001.
