The French-Algerian War (1681-1688) was part of a wider campaign by France against the Barbary Pirates in the 1680s.[3]

French conquest of Algeria

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The French conquest of Algeria took place between 1830 and 1903. In 1827, an argument between Hussein Dey, the ruler of the Deylik of Algiers, and the French consul escalated into a naval blockade, following which France invaded and quickly seized Algiers in 1830, and seized other coastal communities. Amid internal political strife in France, decisions were repeatedly taken to retain control of the territory, and additional military forces were brought in over the following years to quell resistance in the interior of the country.[4]

Mitidja resistance

When the Algerian capital fell to the French army on 7 June 1830, a new phase of modern Algerian history began, the period of French colonialism.[5]

This is because the fall of the Deylical rule led to a political vacuum and as a result, both political and military leaders appeared in the countryside of the Mitidja region and took upon themselves the task of confronting the French occupation.[6]

The Mitidja resistance (ar) was the first armed popular resistance of Algerians against the French presence, which was generalized throughout the country and continued until the beginning of the 20th century.[7]

Emir Abdelkader resistance

When Emir Abdelkader pledged allegiance to resisting the French occupation, the Algerians rushed to him from all sides with the aim of uniting the people and fighting the French occupiers.

And for that, he played the role of the military leader who resisted the French by the so-called Emir Abdelkader resistance (ar), played the role of judge, resolving disputes between tribes, and playing the role of politician by joining the scattered ranks.[8]

Ahmed Bey Resistance

Ahmed Bey ben Mohamed Chérif also known as Ahmed Bey, were a Bey of Constantine who were vassal of the Dey (Maternal uncle protector in turkish called like that by janissaries) in Algiers also called Sultan (Sovreign) all 3 years he had to move for show his loyalty to the sovreign also giving him the taxes taken from his province, Ahmed Bey in 1830 also moved in Algiers for that and he attempted to resist the french invasion but the Agha Ibrahim not listening to his advices will lose and in 3 weeks Hussein Dey will surrender Algiers to France, Ahmed Bey from 1830 until 1837 will resist from his capital Constantine and until 1848 in the Aures tribal warriors area where he will attempt to make resistance but he will be captured close to Setif.

Kabylia resistance

As soon as Emir Abdelkader resistance (ar) ended in defeat in 1847, Kabylia continued the Kabylia resistance (ar) until 1857 when Larbaâ Nath Irathen fell under French control.[9]

Mokrani Revolt

The Mokrani Revolt, which broke out on 16 March 1871, was the most important local uprising against French colonial power in Algeria since the conquest in 1830 : more than 250 tribes rose up, around a third of the population of the country. It was led by the Kabyles of the Biban mountains commanded by Cheikh Mokrani and his brother Boumezrag Mokrani (ar), as well as Cheikh El Haddad (fr), head of the Rahmaniyya religious fraternity.

French Algeria

French Algeria was the colonial rule of France over Algeria since the pacification in 1871. French rule in the region began in 1830 with the invasion of Algiers and lasted until the Algerian War of Independence concluded in 1962. While the administration of Algeria changed significantly over the 132 years of French rule, the Mediterranean coastal region of Algeria, housing the vast majority of its population, was administered as an integral part of France from 1848 until independence.[10]

Algerian nationalism

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Algerian nationalism has been shaped by Algerian-French dichotomies; tensions between the French and Algerian language and culture. It was inspired by people such as Ben Badis and Djamila Bouhired, who were two of the many opposing French colonial rule in Algeria.[11]

Special Organisation

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The Special Organisation was a secret paramilitary organisation in colonial Algeria, founded by Mohamed Belouizdad of the Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties in 1947 to prepare for armed struggle against France, which ruled Algeria as a colony since 1830.
