Are ttey ashamed of it? Or their subjects? Because you almost never hear them talking about the details. Like it nver happened in first place
french people don't learn about it in schools
>>224486702anglos love to talk about the french colonial empire and how africa is still being ruled by big bad racist france
>>224486702They sold the North American stuff and the rest is mostly niggers.
>>224486999well it is deiniteky not true like fsilure called Sahel shows
What do you expect people to say about it?
French indochina is kino, they left a lot of nice architecture to the viets
>>224486702half of it is currently living within France proper nowadays
>France colonizes Africa>Africa colonizes FranceTrue equality and fraternity
>>224486702France had two notable settler colonies. First, France lost Quebec and had the chance to get it back, but preferred a sugar-planting island full of niggers instead. The second was Algeria/Maghreb in north Africa, where they settled mostly Southern Europeans (though still large numbers of frenchman) and even considered it part of France proper. However, they lost a war to an Arab insurrection, which expelled the Europeans after winning. After that, millions of the same people who expelled them from Africa later went to live in France, and the French never saw any problem with it.
>>224487244they were never expelled. they left because arabs were the majority and they HATED the idea of being ruled by arabs or sharing power with them without being backed by mainland france's state violence >millions of the same people who expelled them from Africa later went to live in France, a big portion of the algerian community in france is made up of harki cucks that fought for france against algerian arabs
>>224486999Them controlling their former African colonies is a fact tho
>>224487785>they were never expelled. Not by official decree, but in practice, they were forced out. Continuous terrorist attacks and rising tensions, even after the Évian Accords, made Europeans living there feel like they were stuck in a hopeless warzone. In the months surrounding Algerian independence, around 1 million Europeans fled the country, while the few who stayed ended up leaving over the course of the 1960s>a big portion of the algerian community in france is made up of harki cucks that fought for france against algerian arabsA small portion you mean.
>>224488351>leaves out the small detail about the OAS terror attacks killing thousands of algerians in a single year just to illicit a reaction and keep the french involved and stop the accords
>>224488539I wonder why the OAS attacked the algerians in 1962 when the country was so peacefull before that
>>224488577uh it wasn't? algeria was violent as fuck for 132 years, it was brutally occupied bit by bit and there was tons of oppression and resentmentpieds-noirs hated the idea of algerians gaining independence and ruling the country so they chimped out in a last ditch effort to stop that from happening (they chimped out before that in different forms but I'm talking OAS specifically), but it was an episode in a long series of conflict
>>224488351>Not by official decree, thanks for agreeing, chud. at the end of the day people who think their homeland is truly where they are would have found a way to stay but they didn't. they just fled en masse when the jig was up just like rhodesians or the settler population in angola and mozambique. >A small portion you mean.there's one million harki descendants in france.
>>224489027Algeria wasn't violent for 132 years; it was violent for millennia and a perpetual tumor for the Europeans who bordered the Mediterranean with it's slave raids. It even indirectly created the American navy by attacking random commercial American ships and triggering the former to actually build a war navy. France conquered Algeria with almost universal approval from most of Europe for a reason, and if it hadn't been France, it would have been someone else stopping their raids. The attempt at settling the Algerian coast with Europeans was not only a colonial project but also a safety measure. (Their neighboors, the moors, kept parts of Spain for 8 centuries after all, and only didn't get France too because they were defeated)>thanks for agreeing, chud.No problem in helping, buddy.>there's one million harki descendants in france.How would you know ethnic stats in France? I thought they are banned for decades
>>224487785Algerians arent arabs tho lol maghrebis got doubly cucked and colonised.
All the countries France colonized did nothing and are all poor. British colonies became wealthy like US, Canada, and Australia
>>224489593>tf>tp
>>224487785>a big portion of the algerian community in france is made up of harkiNo
>>224486702Because it only gives them problems
>>224489593te pregunte algo puto panchito? habla cuando te den permiso
>>224489640ouaishttps://www.harkis.gouv.fr/contenus-pedagogiques/histoire-et-culture-fiches-de-travail-et-de-decouverte/les-harkis-un-destin>Les Harkis et leurs descendants (entre 900 000 et 1 million de personnes) forment aujourd’hui un tissu associatif aussi dynamique qu’éparpillé entre quelques 200 associations, dont une minorité exerce une activité régulière.
not my problem
>>224489629Why do you hate your berber ancestors
>>224492082I don't, I'm berber
>>224486702The British, Dutch, and Spanish colonial empires were emblematic of the nation's golden age while France's represented political instability and national insecurity during the long 19th century. Algeria was a distraction for an unpopular government, the rest of Africa isn't anything to write home about, just desert and what ever the British didn't see worth conquering themselves. Vietnam doesn't ignite the same fantasy as Aztec cities full of gold, VOC ships full of exotic spices, or India.
>>224486999like always they can't stop projecting, same thing with evil germans conquering the world
>>224487171
>>224492991French Indochina was kinda based. Frenchies were always good at orientalism in non exaggerating soulful manner unlike what Anglos often do. Today both sides seems to forget it ever happened. There is not even resentment at any side it could never happen in first place
