France promulgates the 1947 Statute of Algeria

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 20 September 1947 📍 Algerije

The organic statute presented Algeria as having a degree of internal autonomy, but retained French sovereignty and a two-college electoral system that gave European settlers representation disproportionate to their population. Its institutional design constrained Algerian political power while presenting colonial rule as reform. Algerian nationalists and reformists disputed the terms and sought meaningful self-government and equality.
