France colonized Algeria for strategic, economic, and ideological reasons, driven by a desire for power, resources, and to impose its own culture.

This video is Great but there is some mistakes like The Ottoman influence started to decline since 1711 until 1830 when it wasn't present And one of the mine reasons France invaded Algeria Because Algeria owed France a huge amount of money since during the Napoleonic Wars Algeria supplied France with wheat. Also El-Amire Abdelkader Had a moving Capital called El-Zemala And he Also Controled Oran Tlemcen and Many other Coastal cities during the treaty of Tafna And Cremieux treaty considered Algerian jews as 1st class citizens so this is why the FLN (Algeria) kicked them after the independence and also cuz many of jews worked as spies to France And I think that nearly 2M pieds noir left Algeria during and after the Algerian war of independence And yes Algeria didn't had as many Natural resources as other Colonies but it Has very fertile soil in the north and Gold Iron Copper in the south Also Constantine is not a "western desert Fortress" since it is not located in the desert neither in the west and it's in the north east of Algeria and It is many kilometers away from the desert. Anyways it is a great video and I like it Keep up in your useful content.👍 Greetings from Algeria🇩🇿
@@AkAoDZ31 Actually the influence of the Osmanli (Ottoman) empire ended abruptly after a bloody revolt in 1671. The regent was locally elected and the Regency paid tribute symbolically to Istanbul within the framework of Islamic courtesy.
@@FreedomPartisan yeah nobody agree exactly when Algeria got it's independence from the Ottomans Some said in 1671 when the Dey rule began And some said when the Dey Ali Bushawsh (I think this is his name) declared Algeria's independence from the Ottomans in 1711 But the Turks continued ruling Algeria until the French invasion in 1830
Algeria was always autonomous within the Ottoman Empire, it was part of it officially, but it was also largely independent. there is no date for that, this was always the case for Algeria, at least since the end of the Ottoman wars with the Habsburgs of Spain in the 16th century like this video accurately points out. Europeans started to witness that Algiers was acting independently from the Sultan but still recognized his suzerainty as a caliph. This is a common practice in Islamic history where emirates declared their alliegence to the Abbasids or the Fatimids but had their own foreign policy. 1671 is the date when the Deys became leaders of Algeria, the government became more stable but even before that, the janissaries had their own "republic" and exercised their sovreignity without much regard to the Sultan. Algeria already had billateral treaties with the Dutch, France, England and even Tunisia by early 1620s. Hense why they are called Barbary "States" and Ottoman "Protectorates".
Constantine is definitely in the east. Somehow I managed to read "western" while looking at a map showing a clearly eastern city. That's entirely my bad lol.
You left out *how the French tried to rule: by adopting racist policies of brutalizing and killing the indigenous. Also, some Jews didn’t leave for Israel, they left for Palestine.

Sir your sources are bias and wrong, before 1827 Algeria had a strong flee of ships that would tax you to get threw the mederanian and protect you, in 1827 the algerian fleet fought alongside the ottoman empire and lost weakening its flee massively, France took advantage and set a blockade for Algiers so that the fleet can't be replaced, then they used the "Fly-Whisk incident" as an excuse to invade, algerians say the dey never hit the french guy but only yelled at him, keep in mind the french not only wanted the riches of algerian land but were also in dept to the algerian government wich is the reason for the beys anger ( no paying the dept )
if the algerian fleet was so strong, why it could not defend Algiers in 1802 from France, in 1812 from the americans, in 1816 from the british and the dutch ? And Algeria never brought any real wealth to France, it was not a profitable business a single year. The only true thing, is that the dey slapping the french ambassador was made up, and it was just a pretext for France.
@@MrGaters34 It did not grew tenfold. The Algerian population was of about 3 million in 1830. The French faced fierce resistance during the invasion and decided to "pacify Algeria" by simply genociding the locals. By 1872 there were only 2.1 million Algerians, and it took 20 more years for it to reach the 3 million threshold again. And at independence the Algerian native population was of 9 million. So factually you are wrong, it grew threefold in 130 years, a pretty small rate for an industrializing region
@@Bombersman what are you basing the genocide claim on ? There were what would be considered warcrimes, however actions of the army were examined, and depending on the situation, condemned, forbidden, etc.
You didn't mention the crimes that France did. For example the promise of independence if Algerian fought for France in WWI and WWII, later France kills the population brutally. The apartheid system in 1872 of "indigent"....etc. the list is so long so please remake the video because you missed so much details.
France defeated the Turks and their allies, and recovered the territories around in addition to these 03 colonies, to build today's Algeria. Today's Algerians are responsible for all the crimes and genocides committed by the Ottomans, because they were Ottomans too and therefore accomplices.
no promise of independance was ever made lol. some vague promises were made to some colonies, but never to Algeria, since it was the only french colony with a significant population of french settlers.

All right, but if all europeans must go back to Europe, all non-europeans must leave Europe.
Videos on the other European colonies in northern Africa would be interesting too. Like Italian rule in Libya, or how differently the French and Spanish holdings in Morocco were governed.
@@treystewart731 The Protectorate of Morocco (i.e. the Rif and the Juby Cape) was ruled jointly by a legate of the Moroccan Sultan and a High Comissar appointed by Spain, the Moroccan Protectorate didn't see much european settlement, unlike the Spanish (Western) Sahara which was annexed as a province 1958 and by the end of Spanish presence, 30% of the population were christian europeans who fled because of the war between the Polisarian Front and Morocco.
if the french tried to exterminate you, why did the algerian population multiplied by 4 during the french colonization ? Nope, i think in 80 years, it will be "how did the algerian settlers left France en masse, like the french settlers left Algeria en masse a century early earlier" And you don't colonize a country with unemployed bums, drug dealers and pizza delivers.
The Regency of Algiers was effectively independent during the ottoman era and even in foreign records such as ones from the brits paying us tributes to pass the Mediterranean while we protect them from piracy it was referred to as "the Kingdom of Algiers" and the ottomans were never mentioned in them because it was completely autonomous and with its own rulers with only symbolically being part of the ottomans because of their status as Caliphate
@@mrrk3501 idk, though algeria is right below them so im guessing they would have tried to colonize them anyways even if the "accident" didnt happen like how italy tried to colonize libya or how the spanish tried to colonize morocco
More than 50 tests were done. Done in the desert zone called Reggan رڤان. They done the tests on prisoners tied to poles like crucifiction 🤢 The few locals of that place still suffer from radiation 😔
They should've focused on buying Guyana from the british and Suriname from the dutch and forging a strong american "colony" instead imo. They would have a big(maybe independant but nonetheless) french speaking country in the americas to this day. Instead they tried to bruteforce their way throught Africa while pushing aside their culture. Of course they were going to kick out the french and their culture as well.
@@Inuzumi the problem with the guyanas is that they weren’t easily colonisable for Europeans due to a very different climate and disease, that’s why there are a lot of descendents of African slaves there. Algeria was not far, had a Mediterranean climate like the south of France so most crops would be effective. There was some disease but the same as there was in southern France or Spain. The thing is to effectively colonise a land you need it to be largely empty and to have a high demographic growth, for thé colonisation of North America and Australia, disease wiped out most of the natives, in Algeria, there was the same diseases as in Europe, so none of that happened, and the natives had a bigger fertility rate
@@Inuzumi well in algeria french language is spoken by most people now and is taught in schools. Also french culture is very present our cafés are very frenchy

France ruled Indochina ( present Vietnam), but partly colonized it and stratified it. France, occupied by Germany, liberated by the Allies, ( of course, no one talks about "collaboration "), would refuse to stop leeching of its "colonies". The Vietnamese kicked their butt, as they did ours. Justice triumphed.
Many wrong info, and for Pirates, they were just not allowed to pass without paying the Tax, as Algeria got a strong Naval army, and Europe wanted to keep their power for a possible invasion from Ottman Empire. The Algerian fleet maritime supremacy of the Mediterranean Sea extended for three centuries, until the beginning of the 19th century. During this period the Algerian fleet was archaic towards the great technical and scientific progress made by European nations, because Reises of the time took no further interest in technological development, and then came the defeat of Navarino, where Algeria sent her navy to help the Ottman Empire against UK and France and Russia in 1827, which left the Regency of Algiers, vulnerable to attacks. These circumstances urged on Charles-X to impose a naval blockade that had ended by the grip of Algiers in 1830.”
@@mehdiexe03 Actually it was more complex than that. The two countries were allied since the king François I who called the Ottomans for help against the Habsburg Empire. The Algerians came to Toulon and Marseille and Nice and defended France against the imperials. The relations between the two sides were up and down until the Bacri Affair and the refusal of France to pay its debts to Algiers, thirty years after the Napoleonic wars (Algiers was the only ally of Napoleon in 1801). It is a history of a crook who wanted to scam the Dey.

4:10 , He didn't strike him with the fly-whisk he just whipped it in the air ( we're taught this in school in Algeria ) The French took it as an excuse
I find the video superficial. The mispronunciation of pied-noirs is just a slight annoyance, but omitting the Barbary wars is a big miss out. Also the French army didn't undergo a humiliating defeat in 1962. Actually it was militarily successful, it was political decision to release Algeria into independence.
@@cezar3977 Typical French colonial propaganda repeated again and again to become a half truth. The term "Pieds-noirs" (blackfeet) is very pejorative to this day. For the Algerian war, it was a bloody and brutal conflict, probably one of the most violent conflicts post-WW2 and it got totally out of control to the point France was on the verge of a bloody civil war.
Buen resumen y explicación de la colonización francesa en Argelia. Lo más curioso de este capítulo es que Argelia era considerada una provincia de la metrópoli (solo para europeos, no nativos) ya que la mayor parte de África tenía un sistema diferente (colonial o vasallo)
@@Micheledel22 True, but he's not wrong. When Algeria became independent, they forced a whooping third of their population away. Not just the french: most of the expelled people were of algerian descent. They also signed treaties facilitating migrations of Algerians towards France. Those aren't exactly great policies to promote economical development. We could talk about the corrupt government as well, but well... is there a single country on the world which can boast about not having an utterly corrupt government ?
@@Micheledel22 Who's we ? I'm speaking of the Algerians here. The French are out of the picture. And yes. France is not making Algeria a favor. That is exactly my point. The Algerian students might come back 99% of the time, but there's a lot of people who still remain in France and work there, feeding the economy of France, instead of feeding Algeria's. For the record, what was going to happen to Algeria happened to several regions of France, Savoy being the latest in kind. It's easy to make some moral statements by quoting the name of Hibler, but I don't fall for that. I like pragmatism better than sentimentality. Napoleon wasn't much better than Hibler. And yet, his legacy isn't all that bad.
The regency is much bigger than the map you used the Sahara desert always belonged to us and there are parts of Morocco who did too ( no offense to my morrocan broters ) but the real borders are up to oued melouiya so oujda borkan all belonged to Algeria ( they were given to the Morocco by France as exchange for betraying emir abdelkader ) and oujda for example was founded by an Algerian Berber called ziri ibn attia , I advise you to see dzayer history channel for more details , Algeria is going through a LOT of propaganda you’ll always find some weird Moroccans calling us kargouli as an insult (it means a marriage between an Algerian woman and a ottoman man ) I don’t even know why these guys think it’s an insult 😂 and they don’t even write it the right way it’s koulghouli anyways as I said they insult us of having no identity of being a 60 yo country and they lie about history they say our whole land was morrocan and French and Turkish which is not the case 😂 These are all French propaganda , they talk about us having no culture and that our country was created in 1962 😂 I advise anyone to watch Mohamed doumir or dzayer history on UA-cam they’re good history channels
The inner politics of the Regency were far more complex, the Jannisaries weren't always in charge, they had to compete with what was called the party of corsairs (taifat al-ru'asa) that ruled the regency more often than not. The regency also had a rich history of alliance and conflict with its neighbors and European powers. I wish more channels covered it.
You didn’t mention in your video the time when the french decided to abolish the Arabic language as well as Islam as a religion and belief and made of the Algerian people illiterates.
For everyone asking why France occupied Algeria, first I tell you that it was a European invasion, not just French, and according to the Russian archives, Russia was invited to this invasion and refused, but other European countries accepted. Second, Algeria had the strongest naval fleet and was suppressing non-Muslim countries, forcing them to pay tribute when entering the Mediterranean, and this made them look for a way to overthrow Algeria, and exactly in the Battle of Navarino, the Algerian naval fleet was destroyed by the alliance (France - Britain - Russia). The Europeans later learned that Algeria was building another fleet, so they decided to invade it and destroy it completely and achieve the old dream. What is the old dream? "Christianizing Algeria" In the fifteenth century, there was a Crusader attack in Algeria and it failed after Algeria allied with the Ottomans, and that attack was an attempt to respond to the "conquest of Andalusia" 🇩🇿👀
it existed as - "Regency of Algiers" between 1516 and 1832, - "Kingdom of Tlemcen" between 1235 and 1556 - "Hammadid dynasty" between 1014 and 1152 - "Zirid dynasty" (from which the name dziri originated) between 972 and 1148

@@saucegribiche7968 when you say "algeria was created by france," you make algeria comparable to the united states, which indeed did not exist before europeans invaded north america. 🤡
modern algeria, on the other hand, is shaped by the dynasties that existed before. there is a clear lineage in culture, demographics, the landscape of cities that traces back to the numidian kingdom under massinissa (202 bc-148 bc), who spoke berber and remains a symbol of algerian identity.
the zirid (972-1148 from which dziri/dzair comes from), hammadid and zayyanid dynasties, and the regency of algiers left lasting influences and heritage. while french colonization had an impact, the core social structures and identities are rooted in these earlier periods.
the southern territories, had historical connections to algerian dynasties but were less integrated into the central authority due to their harsh nature
@@flupydup of course i said that as a provocation we all know about pirates raiding boats and enslaving Europeans, (one of the reasons of french coming to Algiers in the first place), colonisation and islamisation of the berbers but still 90% of southern territories got nothing to do with the pre colonial area it was given to french algeria with a special status cause France wanted to keep algeria that's why it was a proper colony and not a protectorate as Morocco or Tunisia that all 🤷🏻. Be grateful
To those comments saying the Ottomans did exactly what france did, no, not at all, at that time the land was in between the hands of both pirates and the Spanish, so peace was not really a thing, spain failed against the pirates and as a result The Barbarossa brothers made a deal with the ottomans to protect them and make them the leaders of algeria as long as they are considered as an ottoman entity, and under that ruling algerians lived in peace and dignity and through time islam became prevalent. The difference here is that the ottomans brought peace by making an end to that conflict between pirates and the Spanish. While france however, started a whole massacre and brought hell to people who were living in peace, not only that but treated them worse than animals even after it secured the ruling, a lot of the massacres by france were genocides because yes they were ethnically and religiously motivated and there were documents to prove that, France even nuked Algeria, it's famous that 1.5 million martyrs were killed, but those are only thd martyrs, those are the people who fought and died, if you add the ones who didnt even fight, you're left with 5.6 million, to even try to defend that is just such a low thing to do, very low.

No they were not allowed to assimilate with the natives. They were forced to be hostile and scared of natives and native culture. The natives are proud and ruled their farming estates as feudal lords for 15 centuries. The colonists were empovrished and timid people who clinged to the tiny urban centers and waited for the army to steal farms from the natives and hand it to them. Half of the army was made up of native troops. It was a waste of time to stay. Even empoversihed natives dream of escaping the country than stay. Should have went to USA instead of Algeria.
Without free healthcare and cheap gas prices and many social programs the country of Algeria would become empty overnight. Saturated since biblical times, why come or stay.

This video is Great but there is some mistakes like
The Ottoman influence started to decline since 1711 until 1830 when it wasn't present
And one of the mine reasons France invaded Algeria Because Algeria owed France a huge amount of money since during the Napoleonic Wars Algeria supplied France with wheat.
Also El-Amire Abdelkader Had a moving Capital called El-Zemala And he Also Controled Oran Tlemcen and Many other Coastal cities during the treaty of Tafna
And Cremieux treaty considered Algerian jews as 1st class citizens so this is why the FLN (Algeria) kicked them after the independence and also cuz many of jews worked as spies to France
And I think that nearly 2M pieds noir left Algeria during and after the Algerian war of independence
And yes Algeria didn't had as many Natural resources as other Colonies but it Has very fertile soil in the north and Gold Iron Copper in the south
Also Constantine is not a "western desert Fortress" since it is not located in the desert neither in the west and it's in the north east of Algeria and It is many kilometers away from the desert.
Anyways it is a great video and I like it Keep up in your useful content.👍
Greetings from Algeria🇩🇿
@@AkAoDZ31 Actually the influence of the Osmanli (Ottoman) empire ended abruptly after a bloody revolt in 1671. The regent was locally elected and the Regency paid tribute symbolically to Istanbul within the framework of Islamic courtesy.
@@FreedomPartisan yeah nobody agree exactly when Algeria got it's independence from the Ottomans
Some said in 1671 when the Dey rule began
And some said when the Dey Ali Bushawsh (I think this is his name) declared Algeria's independence from the Ottomans in 1711
But the Turks continued ruling Algeria until the French invasion in 1830
Algeria was always autonomous within the Ottoman Empire, it was part of it officially, but it was also largely independent. there is no date for that, this was always the case for Algeria, at least since the end of the Ottoman wars with the Habsburgs of Spain in the 16th century like this video accurately points out. Europeans started to witness that Algiers was acting independently from the Sultan but still recognized his suzerainty as a caliph. This is a common practice in Islamic history where emirates declared their alliegence to the Abbasids or the Fatimids but had their own foreign policy.
1671 is the date when the Deys became leaders of Algeria, the government became more stable but even before that, the janissaries had their own "republic" and exercised their sovreignity without much regard to the Sultan. Algeria already had billateral treaties with the Dutch, France, England and even Tunisia by early 1620s. Hense why they are called Barbary "States" and Ottoman "Protectorates".
Constantine is definitely in the east. Somehow I managed to read "western" while looking at a map showing a clearly eastern city. That's entirely my bad lol.
@@LookBackHistory nah it's normal everyone do mistakes and you are a human not robot

@@woodpecker-ue2rq batter then 600 years i think
Sir your sources are bias and wrong, before 1827 Algeria had a strong flee of ships that would tax you to get threw the mederanian and protect you, in 1827 the algerian fleet fought alongside the ottoman empire and lost weakening its flee massively, France took advantage and set a blockade for Algiers so that the fleet can't be replaced, then they used the "Fly-Whisk incident" as an excuse to invade, algerians say the dey never hit the french guy but only yelled at him, keep in mind the french not only wanted the riches of algerian land but were also in dept to the algerian government wich is the reason for the beys anger ( no paying the dept )
Facts!
if the algerian fleet was so strong, why it could not defend Algiers in 1802 from France, in 1812 from the americans, in 1816 from the british and the dutch ?
And Algeria never brought any real wealth to France, it was not a profitable business a single year.
The only true thing, is that the dey slapping the french ambassador was made up, and it was just a pretext for France.
How did France rule Algeria...like everything else it did, poorly. Very, very poorly.
It was so terrible for the Algerian people that it grew 10-fold.
@@MrGaters34 It did not grew tenfold. The Algerian population was of about 3 million in 1830. The French faced fierce resistance during the invasion and decided to "pacify Algeria" by simply genociding the locals. By 1872 there were only 2.1 million Algerians, and it took 20 more years for it to reach the 3 million threshold again. And at independence the Algerian native population was of 9 million. So factually you are wrong, it grew threefold in 130 years, a pretty small rate for an industrializing region
@@dvosburg1966 at least they're alive. Look at the natives of the British colonies in Australia new Zealand usa... They're totally gone
@@Bombersman what are you basing the genocide claim on ? There were what would be considered warcrimes, however actions of the army were examined, and depending on the situation, condemned, forbidden, etc.

Algerian here.. Really appreciated your accurate and high-quality production choices when it comes to illustration and imagery. Great video!
You didn't mention the crimes that France did. For example the promise of independence if Algerian fought for France in WWI and WWII, later France kills the population brutally.
The apartheid system in 1872 of "indigent"....etc. the list is so long so please remake the video because you missed so much details.
it's not indigent, but indignene. The ords mean diferent things
France defeated the Turks and their allies, and recovered the territories around in addition to these 03 colonies, to build today's Algeria.
Today's Algerians are responsible for all the crimes and genocides committed by the Ottomans, because they were Ottomans too and therefore accomplices.
Reported for misinformation @@maynamar2517

and the majority of israeli jews are arab jews, not european jews, who were kicked out of the country after Israel's foundation. Those will be exterminated if Israel falls. So, they will fight to the death, while french settlers could just go to France. And the european settlers never made more than 20 % of the population in Algeria.
All right, but if all europeans must go back to Europe, all non-europeans must leave Europe.
Videos on the other European colonies in northern Africa would be interesting too. Like Italian rule in Libya, or how differently the French and Spanish holdings in Morocco were governed.
@@treystewart731 The Protectorate of Morocco (i.e. the Rif and the Juby Cape) was ruled jointly by a legate of the Moroccan Sultan and a High Comissar appointed by Spain, the Moroccan Protectorate didn't see much european settlement, unlike the Spanish (Western) Sahara which was annexed as a province 1958 and by the end of Spanish presence, 30% of the population were christian europeans who fled because of the war between the Polisarian Front and Morocco.

132 years of oppression ended with a good lesson not just to the french but to the whole world.
They should've focused on buying Guyana from the british and Suriname from the dutch and forging a strong american "colony" instead imo. They would have a big(maybe independant but nonetheless) french speaking country in the americas to this day. Instead they tried to bruteforce their way throught Africa while pushing aside their culture. Of course they were going to kick out the french and their culture as well.
@@Inuzumi the problem with the guyanas is that they weren’t easily colonisable for Europeans due to a very different climate and disease, that’s why there are a lot of descendents of African slaves there. Algeria was not far, had a Mediterranean climate like the south of France so most crops would be effective. There was some disease but the same as there was in southern France or Spain. The thing is to effectively colonise a land you need it to be largely empty and to have a high demographic growth, for thé colonisation of North America and Australia, disease wiped out most of the natives, in Algeria, there was the same diseases as in Europe, so none of that happened, and the natives had a bigger fertility rate
They did have the largest part in north america
They didn't bruteforce their way in Morocco or Tunisia iirc

Many wrong info, and for Pirates, they were just not allowed to pass without paying the Tax, as Algeria got a strong Naval army, and Europe wanted to keep their power for a possible invasion from Ottman Empire.
The Algerian fleet maritime supremacy of the Mediterranean Sea extended for three centuries, until the beginning of the 19th century. During this period the Algerian fleet was archaic towards the great technical and scientific progress made by European nations, because Reises of the time took no further interest in technological development, and then came the defeat of Navarino, where Algeria sent her navy to help the Ottman Empire against UK and France and Russia in 1827, which left the Regency of Algiers, vulnerable to attacks. These circumstances urged on Charles-X to impose a naval blockade that had ended by the grip of Algiers in 1830.”

Morocco is the one who was there and who ruled North Africa before French colonialism

The inner politics of the Regency were far more complex, the Jannisaries weren't always in charge, they had to compete with what was called the party of corsairs (taifat al-ru'asa) that ruled the regency more often than not. The regency also had a rich history of alliance and conflict with its neighbors and European powers. I wish more channels covered it.

You didn’t mention in your video the time when the french decided to abolish the Arabic language as well as Islam as a religion and belief and made of the Algerian people illiterates.
For everyone asking why France occupied Algeria, first I tell you that it was a European invasion, not just French, and according to the Russian archives, Russia was invited to this invasion and refused, but other European countries accepted. Second, Algeria had the strongest naval fleet and was suppressing non-Muslim countries, forcing them to pay tribute when entering the Mediterranean, and this made them look for a way to overthrow Algeria, and exactly in the Battle of Navarino, the Algerian naval fleet was destroyed by the alliance (France - Britain - Russia). The Europeans later learned that Algeria was building another fleet, so they decided to invade it and destroy it completely and achieve the old dream. What is the old dream? "Christianizing Algeria" In the fifteenth century, there was a Crusader attack in Algeria and it failed after Algeria allied with the Ottomans, and that attack was an attempt to respond to the "conquest of Andalusia"

Marakech call France for protection from their own citizens 😂😂😂😂
The real question is why france created algeria
it existed as
- "Regency of Algiers" between 1516 and 1832,
- "Kingdom of Tlemcen" between 1235 and 1556
- "Hammadid dynasty" between 1014 and 1152
- "Zirid dynasty" (from which the name dziri originated) between 972 and 1148
@@flupydup I m not saying there were no entities before but the southern territories got nothing to do with the regency of Algiers 🤡. France shaped Algeria 🤷🏻
@@saucegribiche7968 when you say "algeria was created by france," you make algeria comparable to the united states, which indeed did not exist before europeans invaded north america. 🤡
modern algeria, on the other hand, is shaped by the dynasties that existed before.
there is a clear lineage in culture, demographics, the landscape of cities that traces back to the numidian kingdom under massinissa (202 bc-148 bc), who spoke berber and remains a symbol of algerian identity.
the zirid (972-1148 from which dziri/dzair comes from), hammadid and zayyanid dynasties, and the regency of algiers left lasting influences and heritage. while french colonization had an impact, the core social structures and identities are rooted in these earlier periods.
the southern territories, had historical connections to algerian dynasties but were less integrated into the central authority due to their harsh nature
france did not create algeria. people who lived in algeria for centuries got their land back.
@@flupydup of course i said that as a provocation we all know about pirates raiding boats and enslaving Europeans, (one of the reasons of french coming to Algiers in the first place), colonisation and islamisation of the berbers but still 90% of southern territories got nothing to do with the pre colonial area it was given to french algeria with a special status cause France wanted to keep algeria that's why it was a proper colony and not a protectorate as Morocco or Tunisia that all 🤷🏻. Be grateful
To those comments saying the Ottomans did exactly what france did, no, not at all, at that time the land was in between the hands of both pirates and the Spanish, so peace was not really a thing, spain failed against the pirates and as a result The Barbarossa brothers made a deal with the ottomans to protect them and make them the leaders of algeria as long as they are considered as an ottoman entity, and under that ruling algerians lived in peace and dignity and through time islam became prevalent.
The difference here is that the ottomans brought peace by making an end to that conflict between pirates and the Spanish.
While france however, started a whole massacre and brought hell to people who were living in peace, not only that but treated them worse than animals even after it secured the ruling, a lot of the massacres by france were genocides because yes they were ethnically and religiously motivated and there were documents to prove that, France even nuked Algeria, it's famous that 1.5 million martyrs were killed, but those are only thd martyrs, those are the people who fought and died, if you add the ones who didnt even fight, you're left with 5.6 million, to even try to defend that is just such a low thing to do, very low.
Sounds like northern ireland, instead of blackfeet, the redhand and orange/ protestant plantation/ model towns. Uæstetisk these already Living there, always a cause of discontent and war
That's why Ireland and Algeria are friends bcs we have a lot in common
Today france is algerian 😂
The question of why did France invade Algeria: why not?
I mean... it was just there, right?
Long live Algeria, the Mecca of the revolutionaries🇩🇿
I love the history of colonialism, especially British colonialism.
Especially with how useless and unprofitable most of the colonies were after the Scramble for Africa.
Well if you trust the British records then India was apparently bleeding money for 150 years, seems rather odd doesn't it
@@whoisjoe5610 Not really.
@@A190xx Does it now? India wasn't profitable? 😂😂😂
@@whoisjoe5610 Yeah it wasn't, if you check the national archive at new Delhi, you'll see they ran a deficit, which is why the British left after they were crippled in world war II
@@Sleepyirishcoffee 😂😂😂
Yeah, and the British also said that they caused no famines, helped develop India into an industrialized economy and further "political freedoms" within the subcontinent, all of which is utter bullshit once you take even a rudimentary look at any primary sources. But I get it, you don't have the IQ necessary to form an opinion by looking at the obvious drain of resources postulated by economists since the mid 19th century on the economy of India, which went from being proto-industrialized to being a subsistence and cash crop agriculture based one in a matter of a century, whose share in the world economy took a gigantic plunge, and whose life expectancy dipped to 32 for almost a decade. In order to make up for this cognitive dissonance, you therefore have to resort to gulping up propaganda regurgitated by a draconian colonial government, infamous for it's burning of records in 1947, censoring of vernacular and non-state owned newspapers, and even open firing on unarmed peaceful protestors. But sure, keep making a fool out of yourself on this platform, you'll get there one day champ!
Bring back the French empire
The Algerian borders actually extended from Melwiya river, not the actual border, part of Algeria was given to the Moroccan king as a gift of his treason to the Emir

Of course, the US and the West, with their human rights and UN support, backed France and considered Algeria a French land, even though it never was. Their media called the Algerian fighters terrorists, while the French army, which was committing genocide, was hailed as heroes. Just like palestine now bur in the end juctice will prevail

Now France is being "algerfying".
Well since France considered Algeria French territory they would never give up, that explains why current day Algeria is the biggest country of Africa. Well yes of course if you annexx land from the east, west and south. So much so, that they annexed more land than t he size of France itself. So when France left, Algeria was left with the war spoils and is now considered the biggest country in the Africa. Yes, but it is intersting to know why. Well now you know.
@@ChoChoDef the Algerians fought for the entire land of algeria ... so they take the entire land is very simple u see u can't have a land u didn't fight for
congo is bigger than algeria btw
and congo isnt even mostly unhabitated sahara

What's the top flag
I recognise the middle one as the Kingdon of Algeria during ottoman times and the bottom on as the Algerian Emirate of Abd Al-Qadr
Thats really sad, 800,000 had to leave? They where basically now native to the land anyway , The french should have never provoked Germany into WW2.
No they were not allowed to assimilate with the natives. They were forced to be hostile and scared of natives and native culture.
The natives are proud and ruled their farming estates as feudal lords for 15 centuries. The colonists were empovrished and timid people who clinged to the tiny urban centers and waited for the army to steal farms from the natives and hand it to them.
Half of the army was made up of native troops.
It was a waste of time to stay. Even empoversihed natives dream of escaping the country than stay.
Should have went to USA instead of Algeria.
Without free healthcare and cheap gas prices and many social programs the country of Algeria would become empty overnight.
Saturated since biblical times, why come or stay.
the answer is simple

There were no Arabs at the time, the area was considerably less and less Arabized then it is today
قريت الاسم اغيلاس عرفتك بلي راح تبدا تيري برك
Arab tribes arrived in the area with the Muslim conquerors in the 7th century and mass migration of Arabs into the region started in the 11th century with the Banu Hilal. Algeria and Morocco were less Arabized before independence than today, but the migrations of the Banu Hilal had made Arabs a significant minority.

No
France is paying no shit. France is a crazy wealthy country that is still leveraging its political and military influence to enrich itself even more. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's paying nothing.
Do you know that french people were snitching on each others to germans back in wwii that gestapo decided they no more needed military presence in France only german police and gestapo were able to hold french people down 😂😂
