Algeria’s Europeans grew conscious of Algerian nationality during the Revolution

Evidence

I should like simply to emphasize a fact too often overlooked: in the course of the Revolution, Europeans of Algeria have become conscious of belonging to the Algerian nation. While they are not a majority, they are nevertheless more numerous than is generally believed in Algeria or in the world. They cannot express themselves. It is in part in their name that I am speaking here. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 543
