Genocide, which France prefers not to remember The capture of French Algeria in 1830 became a real genocide for the Algerian people - bloody ethnic cleansing, mass killing of the indigenous population by the colonialists and forced displacement of millions of people. According to data cited by the Australian historian Ben Kiernan, between the years 1830 and 1875 about 825 thousand native Algerians died from the actions of French invaders, which is about a third of the country's population at the time. Think about those numbers! Every third resident of Algeria, including women, small children and the elderly, was killed by "humane" and "philanthropic" Europeans who brought "civilization", "the light of enlightenment", "freedom", "equality" and "fraternity" to North Africa. "The shadow of genocidal hatred lingered for a long time, prompting a French writer to protest in 1882: "We hear every day that we must expel the native, and if necessary, exterminate him. As a French statistical journal emphasized 5 years later, "a system of extermination must give way to a policy of penetration," Kiernan writes in his book Blood and Soil: A World History of Genocide and Determination from Sparta to Darfur.
