french colonization of Algeria is one the most discusting horrors of human brutality you can imagine, its nothing less than the Nazi crimes in europe.
The Algerian people revolted and paied a very heavy price for his independance, more than 1.5 million in 7 years. One of the movies that shows the struggle for independance is "the stick and the opium"

Yep, France took many algerians by force to fight in vietnam , but when algerians realized that its too bad to fight against VN who just want to regain their own independence, then they quit fighting and went home, fighting against France instead

----------------------
Looking back to evaluate, the French expeditionary army in Indochina accounted for only 25% of the army, the rest was mobilized from 17 colonial countries. Therefore, after the Dien Bien Phu victory, the French colonial system was gradually shaken by these colonial soldiers who brought the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese people back to their homeland. Starting with the National Front for the Liberation of Algeria was born. After 8 years of perseverance and persistent struggle (1954 - 1962), the Algerian people forced the French government to recognize its independence and territorial integrity.

Later, Abdelkader Bensalah (born 1941), Chairman of the Algerian People's Congress (1997 - 2002), Chairman of the National Council of Algeria (2002 - 2019), commented that: "The Dien Bien Phu victory answered us the question that the Vietnamese people can defeat the colonial empire, why can't Algeria?" In particular, only 4 years after the Dien Bien Phu victory, 1960 entered human history with the name "Africa year" with 17 African countries having declared their independence. By 1968, up to 39 countries on this continent (including 85% of the territory and 93% of the population) had won the war for national independence.

When I listen the this I imagine the US soldiers and their allies retreating from Afghanistan, and France soon from the sahel.

 

[Ryder]

Algeria and Vietnam were united against France.

The relations between both countries are interesting. Both were under French colonial rule and both wanted their independance but paid an enormous price for it.

Vietnam also sent weapons and aid to help Algeria.

Both are tough warriors who knew how to fight in their terrain and environment.

Some translation into English.

-----------------

General Giap: I told my friends that imperialists and colonialists are bad students. We have taught them general lessons, but, they don't learn those lessons well. Even if they are lessons with historical grounds. The defeat in Algeria, Cuba, the heavy defeat in Vietnam (French soldiers surrendered in 1954 at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the US was defeated in 1972).

Yes, those are the events that contributed to the fall of colonialism and the inevitable fall of neo-colonialism (American imperialism). These spoiled students deserve to be suspended

heart touching movie, I see many Vietnamese actors and VN rice paddy fields, too. The French were so arrogance and thought they were "superior" than the others and have the right to enslave the other races.

We taught them a very hard lesson and made them surrender in the battle of Dien Bien Phu.

​

General De Castries was captured at Dien Bien Phu.
