BELLWORK1. Who were the colons (pieds-noirs)? How did they use their
status to oppress the Muslim majority in Algeria?2. List three ways WWII impacted Algeria.3. Describe the “era of broken promises?” Why was it called
this? How did it increase nationalism?4. Analyze documents A-C (pgs. 283-284) why do you think
the FLN adopted guerilla tactics to fight the French? 5. THINKER: How was the French view towards Algerian Muslims

French Rule in Algeria• Code de l'indigénat (Indigenous
Code) - July 14, 1865• “The indigenous Muslim is French. . .
He may be admitted to serve in the army (armée de terre) and the navy (armée de mer). He may be called to functions and civil employment in Algeria. He may, on his demand, be admitted to enjoy the rights of a French citizen; in this case, he is subjected to the political and civil laws of France.”– Article I of the Code
• France favored colons in:– Land Ownership– Religion– Economy– Employment– Education– Language
• Make a connection How is this similar to the White Man’s Burden?
Carousel Brainstorming• This is a strategy used
to categorize important events/people/items into specific sectors. It will help you memorize and brainstorm items from each topic.
• How does this work?• This will be used as
review over the causes and fighting of the Algerian War.
• People/Groups/Countries Involved• French rule in Algeria• Impact of WWII on Algeria• Short-Term/Immediate Causes• Fighting and Tactics
Carousel BrainstormThe Rules• Do not move ahead! Follow
directions.• Switch recorders at each
station, but keep your color• Read other comments first,
what can you add/change?• Work as a group and use it as
review….. The purpose is to brainstorm!
The Groups
• People/Groups/Countries Involved
• French rule in Algeria• Impact of WWII on Algeria• Short-Term/Immediate
Causes• Fighting and Tactics
Poster Re-Teach• Now that the class has brainstormed important details of each concept, your group
will be responsible for re-teaching it to the class.• To start, return to your original station and review the information listed on the
poster.• Analyze the following:
– What are the common answers/main points?– What points are missing or misunderstood?– Does it show a good understanding of the concept? – How can you use these points to re-teach the class about the concept?
• Decide how you are going to re-teach/explain the concept to the class. You must reference the poster! Everyone must participate!
• At the end of your brief re-teach, pose a discussion question to the class.– It may be a general concept review question, or can be a higher-level “thinker” question.
• You are taking on the role of the teacher!

French Rule in Algeria
Impact of WWII on French Algeria• European colonizers seen as vulnerable!
– France taken over by Germany– British colonies taken over by Japan
• Encouraged emergence of nationalist leaders who wanted to resist European rule– Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam
• UN emphasized human rights and freedoms….. Undermined entire system of imperialism!
• US and USSR expressed opposition towards imperialism
Fehrat Abbas• Nationalist, representing
Algerian Muslims• Wrote the Manifesto of
Algerian People; 1942• Demanded “the
condemnation and abolition of colonization” plus self-government, a new constitution, participation by Algerians in their own political affairs
Impact of WWII on French Algeria• 1944 - Charles de Gaulle
called a conference of colonial powers in the French Congo
• Promised a new “French Community” that would abolish the worst aspects of colonialism
• Still no suggestion of self-government
The “Era of Broken Promises”• In 1946, the new French Union
publically supported “greater autonomy for the colonial people.”– Muslims got the right to vote!
• Why was this a “broken promise?”• Representatives weren’t based on
population – Muslims were 90%• Elections were rigged• Colons used their influence to stop
reforms that threatened their interests
Ben Bella
• One of the leaders of the FLN• Radical Arab nationalist & socialist• Imprisoned by France throughout
the majority of the war• After independence, becomes
Algeria’s first President 1962-1965
FLN• National Liberation Front• Socialist Nationalist political
party in Algeria• Merged with several smaller
groups• Developed guerilla warfare• The FLN's armed wing was the
Armée de Libération nationale (ALN).
ClosureDiscussion• What was the role of Abbas and
Bella in the war?• Describe the result of the Setif
Massacre. • Explain the fighting tactics used in
the war. • Why do you think the Algerian Civil
War was not recognized as a “war” by the French government? Can you think of conflicts today where the word “war” is avoided by governments involved? Why?
