Estimates vary but upwards of a million Muslim Algerians died; roughly a million Pied Noir (settlers of European descent) were driven into exile; and France was driven to the brink of civil war.

The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 059 Part 17. Blitzkrieg – Born May 1940 – Died December 1941 – If No Dunkirk Miracle - Lend Lease to Russia.In my last programme I looked at what Britain would do if the miracle of Dunkirk hadn’t happened. I concluded that Britain would most likely have come to terms with Hitler. Probably some time in June 1940.
In just 12 months time, at the latest on 22 June, 1941, although probably much earlier without England involved in the war any longer, Hitler would turn on Russia.

Wonders of the WorldThe Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres and Blanche of CastileChartres Cathedral and its magnificent stained glass represent perhaps the greatest achievement of the High Gothic. Its story is linked to that of Blanche of Castile, one of France's most powerful queens, and her son Louis IX, later Saint Louis. In this episode, we talk architecture, stained glass, and the use of color with listener and medieval studies scholar Chris Shanley. You'll also hear about how Blanche set Louis up for success, which he kinda sorta achieved. And because we all need some comfort food, let's cook up a croque madame. Sources: 2020-09-241h 02
