Gabon actually wanted to become integrated with france as an overseas department (just like martinique, guadeloupe, reunion) but they got rejected.
Imagine being that unwanted
Yet Algeria rejected the offer, only to have half their population migrate and live in France. The irony.
@@kiuk_kikshalf??
@@theokaraman
A really substantial percentage live in France.
@@kiuk_kiksFrom what I can see 1.5 Million out of Algeria would leave with 800,000 of that being French or pied noirs and the rest being members of the native population. So definitely large, just 11-15% out of 11 Million people in 1962
World Geography class, we were to report on a randomly selected country. Mine was Togo. Received a low grade. I didn’t have modern technology. There was a one paragraph entry in the encyclopedia with a picture of a bicycle factory.

It's always a good day when Cold War uploads, but I especially enjoy these episodes that look at atypical parts of the Cold War
Second this! Helps everyone to realize the Cold War was much more than just US vs USSR. So much complexity to the world in the post-war world.
When c has that little thing under it, like ç, its pronounced with an s sound, like in garçon.
Françafrique is Fransafrik.
But la francaphonie is no little accent under the c and it's a k sound so aight that makes sense
"ç" forces the /s/ pronounciation (that you usually get after weak vowels "e" and "i") where you'd expect a /k/ sound, generally as a result of word contraction. The rule IS consistent.
@@voiceofreason2674
@@voiceofreason2674 It's because it's francophonie
The Cold War, can you please make a video on Argentina during the era of Juan Peron. It would mean a lot to me if you made a video on this topic, not only because Juan Peron ruled Argentina during the Cold War, but also because your audience will understand how Argentina's economy, politics and society all ended up the way they are today.
Why. Frenchman has the smallest dixie.
Interesting!
Small correction: Mayotte make the headlines not because the refugees suffer but because the refugees turn local French mahorais lives into hell.
I'm just here to for the fate of the bell button and everything beforehand
Nicely informative video
Please do more videos about Romania.
It was an informative and wonderful explanation of political movements in Sub-Saharan countries... their destiny with French colonialism dominate there. France 🇫🇷 hadn't sufficient economic capabilities and elasticity movement of management to control (Africans friendship) after their independences... Both USA 🇺🇸 and USSR harassed French influences by several political plots on African countries. Uk 🇬🇧 also partials the USA 🇺🇸 in competition against France 🇫🇷, after the Cold War, China 🇨🇳 intervened to African content strongly 💪 especially economically against all superpowers on African content.
Good video
You guys should do a video on the Comoros and Bob Denard's antics there!
First, a video on Gary Del'Abate teeth and gums. And their size.
Only countries that take a lot more $$$ then it gives will decide to not be independent like current French Guiana to France.
Or the countries that don't think they will be any better having a corrupt dictator in power for 40+ years... while having less money, infrastructure, security and peace... and possibly slavery too.
Ot like Africa before independence
@@Neversa Independence... in theory. In many of these countries they simply traded a French ruler for an objectively worse local ruler. Maybe it's worth the trade, maybe not, I couldn't say.

Did you use "Fate of Africa" by Martin Meredith as a source for this video?

Comment for the algorithm
French African issue occurs, French Airborne solution drops in to fix said issue 🤷♂️
Which begs the question, when Idi Amin started his murderous rampage should the British Parachute Regiment dropped in on him?
We would have been called colonialists. Even if a properly democratic government had been established.
In the same way, when Ian Smith illegally set up in etho nationalist state in Rhodesia in 1965, UK military options were very limited and problematic.
@@grahambuckerfield4640 Don't BS. Western, colonial empires never, EVER set up stable "Free" democracies in the aftermath of their intervention. They would have replaced one dictator with a slightly better, easier to bribe dictator who would sell his entire country back to France piece by piece
Democracy would mean having the option of democratically rejecting colonial ties which neither France nor the UK will ever abide.
It's empire hasnt ended. Its just adapted.
Makes you want to resurrect the UN Mandate system to stabilise administration.

You forgot Djibouti
I don't think it's entirely ended yet actually
Africa for Africans!!!
And Europe for Europeans

It's pronounced "Fransafrique", not "Frankafrique"
"How France's African Empire Ended"
But it never actually ended though.
You forgot that the French destroyed crops and roads, poisoned water, pour concrete in the plumbing, just being French.
That concrete in the plumbing line is so sad, cuz it just an excuse to not fix things. Theoretically if they did in fact pour concrete in the plumbing of every building, you can remove and replace the pipes of an entire large building in about 2 days. That problem should be fixed by now. It's just an excuse for things not working
@voiceofreason2674 true, but it shows the evil in human kind.
Tell us about palestinien war
Whenever he says France he quacks like a duck
It didn’t end. West-Africa is still French dominated.
And now, my country refuses to admit its racism
Ahhhhh, France.
true only white people are racist
lol it never ended ,they still control it with the cfa franc
thank you for watching the whole video before leaving this comment
@@TheColdWarTVLOL
broooo at least wait until the video is older than the duration
then why have a title like this..@@TheColdWarTV
Xactly
15:08 Stop lying. That is absolutely NOT the largest church in the world. Not even that close. St. Peter's Basilica is far bigger.

Naive and stupid video considering they still very much have their empire in West Africa with their troops and their currency there.
Naive, stupid comment
@@xunqianbaidu6917 I didn't.
@@CatnamedMittens Obviously, because your complaint is literally the point of the video.

@@CatnamedMittensNo one's laughing at what you said. They're laughing at you.
Weird how all those places were better off under colonial rule lol
