as indigenous Algerians. Vichy France abolished the decree in October 1940, at the same time that it promoted Anti-Jewish laws in metropolitan France. After the Anglo-American landings in Algeria and Morocco in November 1942, Vichyist Admiral Darlan was initially kept in power by the Allies and did not abrogate the laws of Vichy. After Darlan's assassination on December 24, 1942, General Giraud was appointed French Civil and Military Commander-in-Chief and, on March 14, 1943, he revoked the anti-Semitic laws of Vichy and reinstated the Crémieux decree. It remained in effect until Algeria won its Independence in 1962 and most of the Algerian Jewish population relocated to France.
