On May 13, 1958, French Army units seized control of French Algeria. The military demanded that General de Gaulle be handed power and a more efficient (in their opinion) handling of the Algerian War.
On May 24 putschist Algeria-based paratroopers took Corsica, meeting virtually no resistance.
On May 29 Parliament accepted de Gaulle at gun-point as the new PM (Président du Conseil).
Operation Resurrection was a contingency plan in case de Gaulle couldn't be made PM for some reason or if the communists tried to take over. It involved landing paratroopers in Paris to take the seat of government and in other major airports throughout the country and deploying armoured divisions in the streets of the capital.
WI de Gaulle had died between the 13th and the 29th? Would the generals be foolish enough to actually carry out the operation? Long-term consequences? Reactions abroad (esp. NATO)?
NB: I've read maverick wrote a TL on the topic a long time ago but I haven't found it so far. Can anyone provide a link?
