Book synopsis

This book aims to examine French motivations behind the decolonization of Tunisia and Morocco, and the responses of the US and the UK to the French policy. France had refused the decolonization of its overseas territories even after WWII, unlike Britain. Investigating why this policy change occurred is particularly significant in order to understand why most dependencies obtained independence only twenty-thirty years after WWII. Interestingly, this process did not result in the destruction of the Alliance. As in the Algerian War, open confrontations between France and the nationalists tended to strain the former's relations with the US, a champion of national emancipation. This was because the Britain tried to mediate between both powers, and the US's policy moderated as a result. The Anglo-Americans aimed to keep the North Africans and the French in the Western bloc, albeit with different motivations.
