Modern Algerian historiography's perspective on Ottoman rule

Algeria was one of the important provinces that remained under Ottoman rule for nearly three centuries, until the French Revolution of 1830. The Ottomans, with all their institutions, were present in the region and applied the same administrative model they had in the capital. While the region gradually became independent of the central authority, the Turkish remnant continued to govern the state. However, relations were almost completely severed with the French occupation of the country in 1830. In the country abandoned to its fate, France implemented its colonial policy at every level and gradually influenced the country's intellectuals to speak in its favor. A scenario similar to the one we saw in the Middle East was also implemented in North Africa, where attempts were made to instill hostility towards the Turks. Unfortunately, this situation also influenced the world of history, and the academic world presented its works to its readers accordingly. Algerian historians largely characterize the Turkish presence as an "occupation." Ignoring the Spanish threat of the time, they interpreted the vital steps taken for the region differently. One of the key claims put forward is that the people were not included in the administration. An examination of our primary sources reveals that this claim is untrue. Indeed, the indigenous people repeatedly betrayed the government and collaborated with Spain. Key Words: Algeria, Oruç Reis, North Africa. Keywords: Cezayir, Oruç Reis, North Africa.
