O.A.S. terrorism accelerated the very European exodus it aimed to prevent

Evidence

But, not for the first time, the O.A.S. was proved to be defeating its own ends; principally because of the atmosphere of terror created by the O.A.S., and despite its threats of “sanctions”, since the beginning of April no less than one hundred thousand pieds noirs had already left the country — or one in ten of the total European population. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1614
