Genocide. So just a few more steps further than what they did historically.
Seriously, thats the only way European empires were keeping their territories post '45, even with the fact most had US support after Truman replaced the very anti-colonial FDR. As you can see, not really feasible.
NATO troops in the groundSupport France more how? Easy financing (the French weren't exactly short on weapons).
Unacceptable to France. Who viewed the whole thing as an internal matter.NATO troops in the ground
De Gaulle didn't want a large number of Algerians in France.The French could have won had de Gaulle wanted to keep Algeria. My main gripe against him is the way he left- abandoning several hundred thousand loyal harkis to be massacred by the FLN and the pied noir to be driven out with one suitcase. He should have offered all the former refuge in France and insisted on all those leaving Algeria being able to take all their money and property with them.
I thought the French military basically won the war vs the FLN, but then political support for the war collapsed and the attempted putch killed off the probability of keeping Algeria foreverWI NATO countries especially US supported France more during the Algerian war
What will it take for France to defeat the revolutionaries and keep it part of France ?
And unacceptable for the rest of NATO, logistic and financial help can be done, there will be some protest but it's doable without too much problem but foot on the ground? Surely not to help the French keep their empireUnacceptable to France. Who viewed the whole thing as an internal matter.
That would almost certainly be a precondition for any NATO support.Methinks this would require France making political concessions to the Arab and Berber majority.
Pouring sub Saharan troops in there funded by Good ole Uncle Sam ?Unacceptable to France. Who viewed the whole thing as an internal matter.
And would be unacceptable to the French .That would almost certainly be a precondition for any NATO support.
Seems possible.Pouring sub Saharan troops in there funded by Good ole Uncle Sam ?
Even 100000 Trained sub Saharan Troops can change the nature of war given the population of Algeria is lowAnd would be unacceptable to the French .
Seems possible.
Algeria had a population of 11 million at the time .Even 100000 Trained sub Saharan Troops can change the nature of war given the population of Algeria is low
I underestimated it I thought it was like 6 million or soAlgeria had a population of 11 million at the time .
The French version of the southern 'massive resistance' would be like The Troubles. Oh my.That would almost certainly be a precondition for any NATO support.
And concessions to the natives (like giving them the franchise) would drive a lot of the pied noirs crazy, starting a third front in the war.
Not in the slightest. Any continued French rule in Algeria is going to be far larger version of Iraq.The French version of the southern 'massive resistance' would be like The Troubles. Oh my.
