The Si Salah fiasco triggered the Generals’ Revolt.

Evidence

Whether these arguments are realistic or not is almost less important than the fact that General Challe, in particular, believed them and they were to play a decisive role in his own future actions. As Yves Courrière remarks, the Si Salah fiasco “was the point of departure for what, less than a year later, was to be called the Revolt of the Generals. For them, following his meeting with Si Salah, de Gaulle committed an act of betrayal on 14 June 1960.” — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1201
