About this episode
In this episode, Will and New Imperialist Realist discuss the history and tragedy of French Algeria, which went from being a prosperous colony to a decaying, Third World country in crisis thanks to decolonization. They discuss how the French developed Algeria, its uniqueness in French Colonial history, the course of the war between France and the FLN, and how Algeria decayed after the French left. They also discuss American involvement on the anti-colonial side and the relation of the failed French effort in Indochina to this conflict.
