Wo gibt's eigentlich die weißen Rosen aus Athen? Und wo regnet's für mich nochmal rote Rosen? Natürlich im Europarosarium Sangerhausen, mit der größten Rosensammlung der Welt. Viele tausend Rosenarten warten auf Sie, mit prachtvollen Blüten und herrlichem Duft. Dosájom DI Welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnim. And me.

William Durymple. And this is the final episode of our Algerian series. We have told the story of three centuries of Algerian. History from the Cossair Republic, the Barbary Pirates, the extraordinary story of whole villages from Ireland and Iceland being lifted and and taken into slavery in Algiers, through the story of a hundred years of French colonialism and the transplantation. Of one million French people who were given the best land in Algeria, then the battle for independence and its ambiguous Aftermath. Today we asked a question that we have been building towards.

The whole of this series. What does all this mean? for France today, and we would argue Everything. Yeah, and it and the answer doesn't come in nineteen sixty two, on the day of independence, but a little before that. So we need to take you back to October nineteen sixty one, eight months before independence, while the war was still raging. In Paris. On the night of the seventeenth of October.
