Question

Why might France have been more motivated to resist independence movement in Algeria then it had in French Indo-china?

Answer 1

because Algeria had a large settler community made up of French-speaking Europeans.

Answer 2

France was able to control Algeria for a longer period than in French Indo- China because Algeria was largely populated with the settlers communities who spoke French. France invaded and captured Algeria from Ottoman overlords in 1830, later introduced the colonization in Algeria. A great number of Europeans were sent to Algeria. The land was given to the European colonists for free which eventually began in the increase of settlers communities.
