50 years on, France remembers the Algerian War
Half-a-century ago, representatives of the French government and the main Algerian nationalist party signed the Evian Accords ending the Algerian War. But it also unleashed a series of traumatic events, which France is not keen to revisit.

The open scars of the French-Algerian war
Algeria is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its independence from France. However, half a century after the Evian Accords officially ended combat, both French and Algerians still ache from the wounds left by the war.

I'm really glad Algeria turned to sh!t after the French "Imperialist'' were gone.
Me too, that is why the earthquake in Haiti was such a blessing.Originally Posted by Patrick974
One outcome of Algerian Independence has been France's re-focus on European integration and leadership.
What was France doing in Algeria?
Algeria was part of France since the 19th century
But...they're on different continents. Separated by sea.
Not the first (and last) case : check Gibraltar
Ceita and Melila
New Caledonia
etc etc etc
So what? France has other over sea departments like New Caledonia, the French Antilles…
Google? Books? Ask your mum?
It was called colonialism, check it out.
Oh, ok....I just wasn't sure why should I sympathize with France after they invaded other country and killed their citizens.
What the Hell? Has your brain turned to fecal matter as well?
