Settlers Revolt in Algiers as Mollet Attacked and De Gaulle Demanded Amid 1958 Crisis

France - Circa 1960: Footage shows tensions erupting in Algiers in 1956 as French settlers attack Prime Minister Guy Mollet during a memorial ceremony, accusing him of betrayal for considering negotiations with Algerian rebels. Over time, Algiers emerges as the political flashpoint where governments in Paris are made and broken. As political instability grows, Pierre Pflimlin’s appointment as premier triggers a full-scale revolt. On May 13, 1958, settlers storm Government House, demanding Charles de Gaulle’s return to power, as the French army, under General Salan, hesitates and eventually steps aside.(Footage by Roberto Machado Noa/Getty Images)
