The Berlin Conference and the Bombardment of Algiers 1830

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 1830 French invasion of Algiers, a critical prelude to the Scramble for Africa. They unpack the diplomatic breakdown triggered by the Fly Whisk Incident, the strategic calculations of King Charles X, and the brutal military campaign that ended centuries of Ottoman rule. The conversation also examines the role of the Dey of Algiers, the janissaries, and the Barbary corsairs, and how the invasion shaped France's colonial ambitions. Listeners will learn about the landing at Sidi Ferruch, the Battle of Staoueli, and the fall of the Casbah, as well as the lasting impact on Algeria and the broader Mediterranean world. #History #FexingoHistory #BerlinConference #Algiers1830 #FrenchColonialism #OttomanEmpire #BarbaryCorsairs #FlyWhiskIncident #KingCharlesX #DeyHussein #SidiFerruch #BattleOfStaoueli #Janissaries #Casbah #MediterraneanHistory #NorthAfrica #Algeria #19thCentury Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
