There was a post about this earlier last week, IIRC, but it's still my opinion that France could not have kept Algeria. Unless they significantly changed their colonial views and for the most part their views of Algeria as a whole, they could not have kept the country as is. A possibility would be a weak confederacy of sorts, with France offering a limp "guiding hand" to a newly independent Algeria, though.

I figure that handling this mess better is just about the last real chance to avoid a Northern Ireland situation at best. With enough troops and muscle they can make a desert and call it peace but at the cost of a lot of U.S./NATO support.What's the latest possible POD for keeping Algeria French? Before WWI? WWII
