The French National Algerian War Memorial on the banks of the Seine in Paris. |
The number of French military casualties is put at 26,000 killed, while the number of Algerians who died is put at 1.5 million, including about 400,000 who had sided with the French and were massacred by the insurrectionists after the French withdrawal. For a comprehensive account of the war, naturally we recommend you read a book on it.
