The Decolonization of Africa
|
Forcing France out of Africa
The war that started in Algeria diverted Frances attention from the rest of their colonial territories. As a result France allowed all the other territories independence. Had France payed attention to the other revolts they would not have lost all their territories. All of the newly independent countries gained their independence with a 15 year period before and after the war. Many Revolutionaries came out of the decolonization such as Frantz Fanon, who was a major revolutionary for Algeria but died right before they gained independence.
- France Resisted the decolonization in Africa
- Bloody war fought in Algeria(1954)
- France Defeated at Dienbienphu
