Abstract
The very singular case of the Algerian war, Bernard Droz In the history of Franco-French wars, the Algerian war is quite singular. Long indifferent to the colonial question, French public opinion showed little interest in Indochina, Tunisia or Morocco while Algeria unleashed passion. Although clearly the left was as a whole favorable to independence and the right opposed the loss of Algeria, the drama disturbed the traditional left-right confrontation. Moreover, the conflict in France was much more violent at the level of discourse than in reality. If there was a civil war, it took place more in Algeria. Paradoxically, the very bitterness of the conflict in France made it easier for Algeria to accede to independence, but in no way was independence achieved through the unanimity of a people.
