What were the first wars where helicopters were developed as counter-insurgency weapons?

Asked by Brian_Ghilliotti (328points) July 6th, 2017

If the French decolonization war in Algeria was not the first (non US war) where helicopters were heavily used as counter insurgent weapons, in which conflicts did they serve this purpose?

If the French Army did use helicopters extensively against Algerian rebels in the decolonization war, how successful were their efforts?

Where they used in the anti-Huk counter insurgency campaign in the Philippines?
