AB - The action of De Gaulle in the hard decolonization of Algeria provoked very divergent political judgements. It remains one of the hot issues in the historiography of the algerian war. The historians are always thrown into confusion as for the true intentions of De Gaulle on Algeria after his return to power: what were the purposes of his algerian politics, and in which measure were they realized?September 16th 1959, Gaulle proclaimed the principle of the ‘self- determination-that seemed to mark truly a turn in his algerian politics. If one holds the only public statements of the General, he seems to have maintained up to 1958 the principle of the French sovereignty, judged necessary to the grandeur of France. But many testimonies, public or private, previous in year 1958 are rather corroborating to prove that De Gaulle was convinced before long that Algeria would finish by being independent as the other colonies. Of course De Gaulle envisioned the independence of Algeria, but that does not mean that he always followed the same Algerian politics. With the politics of self-determination, De Gaulle recommended an association of the Algeria with the France in the framework of the Communauté française. After the breaking-up of the Communauté, he no longer has other trumps than to address directly to the leaders of the FLN and to propose them negotiations even without a prerequisite of cease-fire. With agreements of Evian, Gaulle finally regulates Algerian problem. But independent Algeria is very far from what he envisioned when he made a comeback to power.
