With a POD no earlier than 1945, is it possible for Algeria to gain independence without losing its European population of pieds-noirs? From what I can see, it looks rather tricky as the extremists on both sides came to dominate the mainstream political rhetoric early on in the conflict, limiting the possibilities for an amicable solution to satisfy both the FLN and the pieds-noirs. However, I'm guessing that with a POD in the mid to late forties, somebody on the board might be able to come up with a plausible way to get it done.
Any takers?
