The French bombing of Sakiet internationalized the war and toppled the Fourth Republic

Evidence

No effort of Yazid or Chanderli, or of the whole F.L.N. leadership to date, could have done more to “internationalise” the war than the French bombing of Sakiet. It also set in motion the chain of events that led directly to the final disintegration of the Fourth Republic. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 780
