So, basically, assume that anytime between the Suez Crisis and De Gaulle's pronunciamento in response to General Salan's invitation into government in may 1958, De Gaulle suffers a stroke and dies, or is murdered.
What happens to the agonizing political climate of the later French Fourth Republic without the 1958 coup? How long would it take for the situation in Paris to stabilize?
What about Algeria? Would Fourth Republic authorities try to negotiate the independence of Algeria a few years earlier than OTL, as De Gaulle did in OTL with the Evian Accords?
How would the Comintern and the French socialists react?
How would the Pied-Noirs, the OAS, and the army in Algeria react to the failure of a coup? Would they attempt to form a new government in Algiers and declare an independent French Algerian "apartheid" state?
 
I think the pied noirs would pull a udi. The large Jewish community would probably support integration with the metropole.
