ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a review of the centenary of the French conquest of Algeria and a review of Algeria’s response and perception. To this end, the paper will be dedicated to centennial planning, commemorative events, various perspectives on centenary anniversary, and the main actors of the Algerian nationalist movement. When the general view is dominated by the perception of the pro-French elite “Youth Algerian Party”, this paper deals with a wider range of protagonists, modes of expression and resistance, from widespread rumors through reinterpretation and programs opposing the existing program, to the movement refusing to participate. In addition, the centenary anniversary of 1930 is not identified as a unique or isolated event, but rather as a broader analysis in time and space, it examines the changes operating within Algeria’s “response” and the repercussions of Algeria’s response to French organizers’ intentions and actions. In this way, this paper aims to show that the centennial celebration of Algeria in the 1930s served as a kind of “resistance school” in which various intervention strategies were designed and tested, rather than triggering a clear “disconnect” between the colonial government and Algerian leaders.
