French Aftermath

The French suffered in a plethora of ways after the end of the war.

Destabilization
The Algerian Revolution was one of the key forces behind the collapse of the Fourth Republic. In addition the end of war also gave other colonies a chance to rebel and the French were forced to let go of even more territory.

Aftermath
The French were soon forced to restructure as the Fifth Republic. In addition other problems came up as the French People lambasted them for their use of Torture. Many citizens in France were sick of their old government and wanted something new.

The French Involvement in the Suez Canal also came about thanks to this war as the French had entered deals with the British during this war. Other correspondences with the British further shook the faith of the French People in their government.

However perhaps the biggest impact was the very fact that Algeria won its independence. This was the first asymmetrical war in modern history in which the weaker side had won. The Algerians winning served as proof that other colonies could assert their own independence. The falling powers of Europe and the rising power in the other parts of the globe were showcased in this conflict.

Future asymmetrical wars would follow in a very similar manner as more colonies and oppressed countries asserted their independence to "stronger" colonies.
