France gathered 400 Muslim scholars and decapitated them with machetes; during the occupation of Chad in 1917.
When France entered the Algerian city of Laghouat in 1852, it killed two-thirds of its population and burned them alive in a single night.
Between 1960 and 1966, France conducted 17 nuclear tests in Algeria, resulting in an unspecified number of casualties, between 27,000 and 100,000. The effects persist to this day.
When France left Algeria in 1962, they had left more mines than the entire Algerian population of that time: 11 million mines.
France occupied Algeria for 132 years. The French exterminated one million Muslims in the first 7 years after their arrival and 1.5 million in the last 7 years before their departure.
French historian Jacques Gorky estimated that the total number of people killed by France in Algeria, from its arrival in 1830 to its departure in 1962, was 10 million Muslims. That is French historian not Arab.
France occupied Tunisia for 75 years, Algeria 132 years, Morocco 44 years and Mauritania 60 years.
When France entered Egypt during its famous campaign, French soldiers entered mosques on horseback and raped women in front of their families. They drank alcohol in the mosques and turned part into stables for their horses.
Note, I didn't verify every detail of this account, but I have seen alarming data on French atrocities in North Afria.
