Algeria
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
The French conquest of Algeria began with the landing of an expeditionary force at Sidi-Ferruch on 14 June 1830 and the capitulation of Husayn Dey at Algiers on 5 July. French military occupation then expanded through coastal centers and developed into a dual system of Arab and civil territories, combining indirect rule in much of the country with French administration in selected areas.

Le récit
Algeria was poorly prepared for the French expedition of 1830. French forces landed at Sidi-Ferruch Bay on 14 June under General de Bourmont, numbering 37,500 men. On 19 June, an Algerian army of about 40,000 men under Ibrahim Agha, composed of janissaries, makhzen forces, and militia from Kabylia, attacked at Staoueli but was decisively defeated.
A second Algerian attempt to halt the advance failed at Sidi Khalef on 24 June. After taking the coast of Bouzarea, the French besieged Sultan Calassi, the fort protecting Algiers from the landward side. The assault began on 4 July, and on the following day Husayn Dey signed the act of capitulation and surrendered Algiers. Supreme authority passed to the French military command.
French control expanded when the occupation forces took Oran in 1831, Bône in 1832, and Bougie in 1834. The decree of 22 July 1834 created a governor-generalship of French possessions in North Africa and rejected evacuation. By 1845, Algeria was divided into “Arab territory,” where sharïa and indirect government prevailed, and “civil territory,” where French justice and administration were officially recognized; a statute of 28 September 1847 subjected the latter to the French law on communes.
French forces landed at Sidi-Ferruch on 14 June 1830.
Husayn Dey capitulated at Algiers on 5 July 1830.
Oran, Bône, and Bougie were occupied between 1831 and 1834.
The 1845 division distinguished Arab and civil territories.
The 1847 statute extended French communal law to civil territory.
