Algeria used to be part of France (although Algerians call this period colonization). As a result, French was the official language of Algeria from 1830-1962.
Algerians primarily speak Arabic as their official language. Additionally, many Algerians speak French as it is often used in business, education, and media. There are also various Berber languages spoken in different regions of Algeria.
Algerians are descendants of various ethnic groups that have inhabited the region over centuries, including Berbers, Arabs, Turks, and French settlers. These diverse influences have shaped the cultural and ethnic makeup of Algeria.
Algeria was a French colony from 1830 to 1962, and French remained the language of administration, education, and culture even after independence. As a result, the French language has had a significant influence on Algerian society, and many Algerians continue to speak French alongside Arabic and Berber languages. Additionally, speaking French can provide access to economic and educational opportunities both within Algeria and internationally.
Because of its long history as a French colony.
Yes, there have been many wars for thousands of years in North Africa. Most recently the Algerians fought for years to regain their independence from France, a war which culminated in the creation of the modern, independent state of Algeria in 1961. Many Algerians fought as part of the French military in WWII. The first land combat against the Germans after the US entered WWII involved landings in Morocco and Algeria November 8, 1942. There was not much actual combat in Algeria, but Algiers was an important headquarters city for a time, and Allied airfields operated at Tebessa and Bone.
There are different estimations about the numbers of Algerians in France. The French national body of statistics INSEE puts the figure at 1.7 million Algerian nationals. People born before Algerian independence in 1962 are not included, since they weren't at the time any Algerians, but only French citizens. In the number are included only the people holding Algerian citizenship, or dual Algerian-French citizenship. The people of Aglerian descent, holding French citizenship only, aren't included (since they are only French).The largest estimate, by an Algerian-based association, puts the figure at about 4 milion people, but includes all people of Algerian descent, regardless of their date of birth or actual citizenship.

Bilingualism is to master two different languages. It cannot be taught. However, each language must be taught alone (not by mixing them). We can say for example, Algeria is a bilingual society because Algerians speak Arabic and French.
After World War 2, the French colonists refused to share political power with the native algerians. In 1954, the algerian national liberation front, or FLN, announced its intention to fight for independence.
French conquest of Algeria happened in 1830.
