The Return of Charles de Gaulle

Due to the crisis of May 13, 1958, General De Gaulle returns to power. On June 4, 1958, in Algiers, De Gaulle says to the crowd: “I have understood you.” In September 1958, the Fifth French Republic and the GPRA (Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic) are born at the same time. From February 6, 1959, the French General Staff launches the Challe Plan to definitively wipe out the ALN units present on Algerian territory.
