Évian Accords
At the end of the Algerian War, remaining zouave and tirailleur units were incorporated in a short-lived "Force locale de l'ordre Algérienne": created under the Évian Accords of March 1962 and intended to provide a transitional peace-keeping force acceptable to both Muslim and European communities. The zouave regiments were finally disbanded in 1962 following Algerian independence. This was inevitable since their recruitment base was the European population of Algeria, which dispersed with the ending of French rule.
