1.5 million Algerians have recently lost their lives trying to escape French colonial rule. What kind of price was paid in the process that led Algeria to independence? On April 29, 1827, Uncle Hüseyin Pasha's blowing a fan in the face of the French consul, with whom he was discussing debts, became the breaking point of relations between France and Algeria. Using this event as an excuse, France declared war on Algeria on 16 June 1827. He sent a large navy and besieged Algeria. France announced this operation to the whole of Europe and legalized the occupation. He even stated that if Algeria were destroyed, he would consult other European states about the order he would establish there. Europe, Prussia, Sardinia, the Netherlands and Spain supported this plan, while England opposed it. The invaders drove the Algerian people to mountainous, barren and barren lands and settled themselves in the most fertile lands and sea shores. They started numerous investments by plundering the underground and surface resources of the country. French has become the most widely spoken language in major cities. To the French, Algeria was part of France, unlike a country that was occupied and colonized. he was creating a "French Algeria" by bringing settlers from his own country and from other countries.
