Answer:

France was able to control Algeria for a longer period than in French Indo- China because Algeria was largely populated with the settlers communities who spoke French. France invaded and captured Algeria from Ottoman overlords in 1830, later introduced the colonization in Algeria. A great number of Europeans were sent to Algeria. The land was given to the European colonists for free which eventually began in the increase of settlers communities.
