The executive authority in England was divided among several ministers and commissioners that did not act quickly or in unison. Also, the Board of Trade, the branch of government that knew more about the colonies than any other governing body in England, did not have the power to make decisions or to enforce decrees.

- ... pacific to a more radical and liberationist stance in such a short notice. As we can see from before he had in many different ways attempted to convince the French government that the change is really needed and that if they will not allow it the conflict will spark off. These peaceful attempts were a failure. Another important factor was the ... He replied: 'No, it's war.' Finally there was the gaining of independence by Tunisia and Morocco. These countries have managed to separate from the French and create their own government in 1956. This further convinced Abbas that he should change his tactics.
