L'Algérie Était la FRANCE — Mais 9 Habitants sur 10 N'Étaient Pas Français
ORIGINES — Histoire de France
28,256 views
Most people think they know this story: France landed in Algeria in 1830, stayed for 132 years, and then left after a painful war. A page turned. It's the history of school textbooks. It's neat—and profoundly inadequate.
Because it leaves out the one thing that explains everything else: for over a century, Algeria wasn't a colony. Legally, it WAS France. Three departments, like Brittany or Provence, with prefects, mayors, and representatives in Paris. And on this legally French land, nine out of ten inhabitants weren't French citizens.
Why did France really go to Algeria? How could a territory declared French have exploded a century later? And why, more than sixty years on, has this rift still not healed?
On the program:
• 1827: The Fan Incident — and the real motive for the conquest
• Charles X launches war to save his throne… and loses it three weeks later
• Abd el-Kader: The emir who built a state and a mobile capital, the smala
• The man who fought France for fifteen years and received the Legion of Honor
• Lalla Fatma N'Soumer, the woman who led the Kabyle resistance
• 1848: The decision that made any compromise impossible
• 1871: When Algerian lands were used to resettle Alsatians
• The Indigenous Code and the trap of citizenship
• Who were the Pied-Noirs really — Spaniards, Italians, Maltese, Alsatians
• Albert Camus, son of a cleaning woman from Algiers, torn between the two sides
• May 8, 1945: The day a generation ceased to exist Believe
• The Contingent: One and a Half Million Young Frenchmen Across the Sea
• Saharan Oil, Discovered at the Worst Time
• De Gaulle, "I Have Understood You" — and the Reversal
• 1962: The Summer Exodus and the Fate of the Harkis
• Why, Sixty Years Later, the Page Is Still Not Turned

La colonisation ne demarra que bien plus tard.
Le code de l' indigenat n' est que l'instauration de l' apartheid.
C'est le rêve de tout français sans exception, mais elle n'a jamais était
L'Algerie a été toujours Algérienne.
