Welcome to my Website about the French Algerian war. I designed this website about the French Algerian War because since I am French, I thought it would be good for me to learn about a war that affected my country. not only that, both my grandpa's fought/worked in that war so I wanted to learn about what it was like to fight in that war.I also designed it to maybe help a few students who would like to learn about this war because I noticed that at my School, very very few people knew about this war, which is one of the latest wars that have been going on in Europe.
I broke my website into 8 different sections:
1.home/introduction
2.main events of what happened during that war
3.causes
4.general effects/consequences
5. interview with veterants
6.additional sources
7.Quiz
8. Bibliography/work cited
