Algeria's 1830 Invasion: The Casbah Falls to France

View show details

This episode goes back to the beginning — the 1830 French invasion of Algiers. We trace the events that led to the fall of the Casbah, from the diplomatic crisis over the fly-whisk incident to the landing at Sidi Ferruch and the Battle of Staouëli. Lucas and Luna discuss the role of the Dey Hussein, the controversial expedition launched by King Charles X to boost his popularity, and the brutal sack of Algiers that followed. They explore how the French navy's superior firepower and the Ottoman-Algerian Janissaries' disarray sealed the city's fate in just three weeks. The conversation also touches on the legacy of the invasion: the looting of priceless manuscripts and artifacts, and the seeds of 132 years of colonial rule. A pivotal moment that set the stage for everything from the barbary corsairs to the battle of algiers. #Algeria #FrenchInvasion1830 #Casbah #DeyHussein #CharlesX #SidiFerruch #Staouëli #Janissaries #NorthAfrica #OttomanAlgeria #ColonialHistory #FlyWhiskIncident #BattleOfAlgiers #PiedsNoirs #FexingoHistory #History #Empire #SackOfAlgiers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
