  "The war even collapsed an entire French Republic." Not exactly as high bar as one might expect

  The number of Algerians who were killed in the massacres of May 8, 1945 was 45,000 according to French statistics or 90,000 according to American statistics. In fact, France promised to give independence to Algeria, but after its victory in World War II, it broke the promise.

  Last year I watched the movie "The Battle of Algiers", which is about this war. Highly recommended.

  The status of French Algeria was utterly hypocritical. On the one hand Algeria was officially not a colony but an integral part of France; yet on the ground it lived under a de facto apartheid regime, in which a minority of settler colonists confiscated all wealth and political power, and the majority of the population was not granted citizenship rights. Eventually the contradiction had to blow up, and blow up it did. The Pieds-Noirs were essentially the French Afrikaners.

  My grandfather was drafted into this war, he spent most of it guarding the border with Tunisia. He was always really sad when talking about it, and always regretted the matter couldn't be settled peacefully.
