Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"The Indian Rising of 1857-8 was not the only mass colonial rebellion of past against present. Within the French Empire the great Algerian rising of 1871, precipitated both by the withdrawal of French troops during the Franco-Prussian War and the mass resettlement of Alsatians and Lorrainers in Algeria after it, is an analogous phenomenon." [Hobsbawm: Capital, p. 125]
