DIVERSITY IN FRANCE Between 1850-1940 France welcomed 7
million immigrants from European countries such as Poland, Italy, Spain, and Belgium. These groups adapted easily to the French culture.
Following WWII, France had a shortage of workers. The French gov. encouraged immigration to France. By 1950, many of the immigrants were Algerian. These immigrants took jobs that French employers found hard to fill. This seemed like a good thing at first, but…….

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM HERE??…..the French people thought the immigrants
would work in France temporarily, then return home.
Then in the 1970s, more North African immigrants started to move to France.
This compounded the problem because: the French government was already weak. the French people felt that the immigrants were
taking jobs away from their own people. What was the French governments response
to these problems? Answer: start limiting immigration.

TENSIONS RISE: A POLITICAL PROTEST

In November 2005, discouraged immigrants in several French cities began to riot.
Immigrants faced economic disadvantages and claimed that the French gov. and people had treated them unfairly.
The French gov. responded with curfews, police raids, and security measures.
