Why did France lose the Algerian war?

Surrender monkeys.

>already fucked up big time in indochina
>FLN won't give up, repression only makes the population angrier against the french, escalation is inevitable
>no other country on board to seriously back them up (especially not us since the indochina flop)
>political system lacks a strong executive core under the 4th republic and governments change all the time
>french intellectuals picking the war as an occasion to bitch about stuff and make themselves famous. makes it even less popular to the general population

After Napoleon France would be great again militarily and had to pick on Algeria and Indochina. They suck its as simple as that, they had to request the aid of two powerful nations just to fight the Germans in a single front, twice.

That sounds like a lot of shit, it is a massive embarrassment for any country to lose a part of it's territory, this is like when britbongs pretend they don't care about losing Ireland.

What happened?

>>2047613
let me rephrase that
*lack of a reason that could make the populace want to defend it

>>2047616
Westernization happened. Everytime western culture is brought sonewhere it effeminizes the local culture. Theyre turning the world into pussies and they have been pushing their faggotry on everyone for the last couple hundred years.

>>2047616
The probably has something to do with the fact that Saladin wasn't an Arab.
