Alger : voyage dans le temps de 1830 au 1939

The film offers a detailed analysis of Algiers' history, focusing on the period from the French conquest in 1830 to 1939. It begins by describing the events surrounding the expedition launched by King Charles X, highlighting how this operation, initially presented as punitive, transformed into an occupation lasting over 130 years. Emphasis is placed on the radical urban transformation of the Ottoman city, noting the seizure of the Dey's treasury and the establishment of a colonial administration to replace Ottoman rule. The source explains how the colonial policy of expropriation and the massive influx of European migrants reshaped the social and demographic fabric of Algiers, leading to the decay of the Casbah and the Europeanization of the lower city. Finally, the film illustrates the major urban development projects (alignment plans, modern fortifications, construction of the Boulevard de l'Impératrice) that structured the "French city" and the emergence of the Neo-Moorish style at the beginning of the 20th century, culminating in the centenary celebrations of the conquest. #HistoryAlgiers #Algiers1830 #FrenchColonization #ColonialMemory #UrbanHistory #Casbah #OttomanCity #UrbanTransformation #Expropriations #EuropeanMigration #FrenchCity #ColonialArchitecture #NeoMoorish #PublicWorks #BoulevardDeLImpératrice #CentenaryOfTheConquest #AlgerianHeritage #HistoryOfTheMaghreb #HistoricalDocumentary
