WI: French Military crushes FLN before 1957 (Algeria)
What If France was able to defeat the Front Liberation de Nationale before it brought the fight to the streets of Algiers? Could Algeria stay under French control in the long term? Remember around a million Europeans live in Algeria at this point and much of the French public still sees Algeria as part of France not just a colony. Could the Forth French Republic survive? Would De Gaulle still retake power?
