In 1958, [[Charles de Gaulle]] successfully returned to power in France, after having led France during [[World War II]].  He feared an Algerian rebellion, and favored granting independence to it and others.  France officially granted Algeria independence in 1962, and [[Ahmed Ben Bella]] became its first [[prime minister]].  In 1965, Ben Bella was deposed (overthrown).  A fully Islamic government took control in 1985 due in part to a drop in the price of [[oil]], which caused a crisis in the Algerian [[economy]].
