Berlin Conference: The Bombardment of Algiers 1830

Lucas and Luna explore the 1830 French invasion of Algiers, a pivotal event that preceded the Berlin Conference by 55 years. They discuss the fly-whisk incident that triggered the conflict, Dey Hussein's rule over the Barbary corsairs, the French landing at Sidi Ferruch, the brutal Battle of Staouëli, and the fall of the Casbah. The episode examines how this conquest reshaped North Africa and set a precedent for European colonization, connecting it to the later Scramble for Africa. #History #FexingoHistory #BerlinConference #Algiers #1830 #DeyHussein #BarbaryCorsairs #SidiFerruch #Staoueli #Casbah #CharlesX #GeneralDeBourmont #FrenchColonialism #NorthAfrica #ScrambleForAfrica #OttomanEmpire #Algeria #ColonialHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
