Why did France lose the Algeria war?
Technically the French did win the Algerian war. The army had reduced the guerrilla to very little, using rough techniques including the use of torture. But the political decision was made to let Algeria access to independence, considering that even if the militias were quelled, it was only for a moment and that violence would inevitably resume in the end.
Other important points were that France was feeling a strong international pressure and a strong opposition from the French to let their children "go to war" in Algeria.
What does it mean to be French?
Being born in France to at least one French parent is what it means "to be French" in the phrase's strictest sense. The status therefore may be interpreted to have bio-geographical, cultural, genealogical, and linguistic ramifications in its most puristic, theoretical form. The factor which is most amenable to variation in such a tightly defined situation will be place of birth since the latter also may include nativity in French overseas possessions or temporary residences abroad because of parental diplomatic or professional assignments.
What were some reasons for colonizing France?
France was not colonized as that term is generally understood.
During the Modern Era, when what is usually called "colonialism" occurred, France was too powerful to be occupied an colonized. However, the entire development of France occurred when Gaul (the old name for France) was a province of the Roman Empire. This Roman control could easily be seen as a colonization in the Ancient Period. Even earlier, cities in Gaul along the Mediterranean, like Marseilles, were Ancient Greek colonies in what was otherwise "barbarian" territory.
