The early 1950's showed great hope for independence in Aden. However, political organisations were also urging a merge with North Yemen. Despite wanting independence, in order to obtain it, the city was to form a federation with the emirates.

The city was involved in a large amount of battles along the Violet Line, which attempted to separate Yemen from the Aden Protectorate.
