Sétif, Algeria, Algeria

Displayed:   times.

Sétif has existed since Roman times and is located at an elevation of 1,100m. After the French occupied the town in 1838, it was rebuilt and transformed into a military garrison. One of the earliest explosions of modern nationalist violence occurred in the town when 84 Europeans were killed in 1945, followed by a vicious retaliation by the French army which killed over 2,000 Algerians.
