“Were the French “invited” into Algeria?”
While I agree that the history in Algeria doesn’t help matters, Sweden has similar problems with their new arrivals, but has ZERO history of colonialism.
By the way, unlike other colonies, North African colonies were created less for exploitation but far more because the Mediterranean was infested with pirates from that area (oil came much later). We even had to send the boys to Libya, which is still referred to in the Marines Hymm.
Yep, that's the head-scratcher for me.
“Zero?” I think not. Including New Sweden in Delaware/Pennsylvania. It would appear they just weren’t very good at it, since they kept losing or seeking what they gothttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_overseas_colonies.
