I was born in city X which is now under control of a different country. What should I write as my country of birth on US visa/ESTA applications?

A member of my family (who is French citizen) is currently applying for the Visa Waiver Program of the USA. The member is born in a city in the former French Algeria (before the independence).

In the field "Country of Birth", should he therefore select "France" (as the city was located in the former French Algeria) or "Algeria" (the country where the city is now)?
