Summary/Abstract: This paper examines how the colonial legacy affected relations between Algeria and France. Since Algerian independence in 1962, relations between France and its former colony have been on a highly delicate line for both countries. The traumas, literally inherited from the colonial period, shaped the relations between the two countries. Algeria's dream of national independence was to become a sovereign state with free decision-making mechanisms by ending foreign control over the country's wealth and resources, away from French influence. However, this dream has not been fully realized in the shadow of the 132 years of the colonial legacy.
