Every reform attempt between 1909 and 1954 was thwarted, dashing Muslim hopes.

Evidence

The still-born Blum—Viollette Bill was the ultimate plea for “assimilation”. It aroused the most glowing hopes among Muslim liberals, but when — like every other endeavour of reform between 1909 and 1954 — it was thwarted, they were replaced by black despair. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 104
