French war with Algeria (13 janv. 1830 – 7 mars 1847)
Description:
The French initially invaded Algeria in 1830, capturing the capital and most of the coast. However, what initially appeared to be a quick and easy victory turned into a long, bloody guerrilla war over the next 17 years. The invasion was initially used by Charles X to gain political support, but dragged on longer to become a burden on the rule of Louis Phillippe. While ultimately victorious, the French suffered much economic and social stress over the war that was damaging in the long term.Ajouté au bande de temps:
