A proposito di questo titolo

In May 1945, as Europe celebrated the end of World War II, Algeria experienced a brutal crackdown that would become a watershed moment in its struggle for independence. This episode explores the Sétif and Guelma massacres, where French colonial forces and settlers killed thousands of Algerian civilians in response to nationalist demonstrations. Lucas and Luna untangle the events of May 8, 1945, the role of the nationalist leader Ferhat Abbas, and the impact of the massacre on the Algerian independence movement. They discuss the French official cover-up, the long-term consequences that led to the Algerian War, and why this event is still a deeply contested memory today. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and historical records, the episode sheds light on a pivotal moment that shifted Algerian nationalism from peaceful protest to armed resistance.
