This study examines the historical context of the tragic events of May 1945 in Algeria, and the relationship of those events to the struggle for Algerian independence. The first part of the work looks at the social and political history of Algeria at the time of conflict, the defeat of France, and the establishment of the Vichy regime. The second part discusses the political and ideological foundations of the Vichy regime, along with its politics toward Jews, Communists, and Muslims. The third part deals with the landing of the Allies in North Africa and their role in Darlan and Giraud, and a fourth part investigates the Algerian politics of de Gaulle that led to the founding of the AML and the tragedy of May 1945. Finally, the study considers events after May 1945 in order to show on what bases the Algerian nationalist movement was formed.
