Validity Study of NIE 71-55:
Probable Developments in French North Africa,
(insofar as it relates to Algeria)
published 29 November 1955
The primary defect in ME 71-55 as it pertained to Algeria
was failure to anticipate the rapidity with which the Algerian
nationalist drive toward independence would develop. This, in
turn, was in large measure due to the unexpected French grant
of "independence" to Morocco and Tunisia.
