Living in Algeria at the time of colonization
I) Organization of the government in Algeria :
A) Basic steps in the administration conducted in Algeria:
colonization between 1870 and 1900
From 1871 to 1881, we return to the colonial official who had been abandoned during the Second Empire, two prominent governors, Admiral and General Chanzy Gueydon, give it a boost.
New centers are created in three departments, and is populated with French from the mainland, either with the French in Algeria.
After 1881 and until 1902, the settlement is official brakes. The extension of colonization eventually absorb the land which the state provides. Also, after 1881, for lack of available land and credit to buy, it was necessary to reduce the creation of centers. Only after 1902, following the institution of the special budget, the official colonization resumed its momentum.
Since 1890, Algeria has its special budget, the need to strengthen the French element is obvious, we devote significant funds to the official colonization and developed the legislation that governs it. The decree of 1901, allows four modes of alienation of land settlement: a
The sale price fixed, open office, held the office of the chief areas of each department.
2 ° The auction by auction. 3 °
exceptionally selling OTC.
4 ° The concession fee, but only when the interests of colonization requires.
B) a social organization
education
The arrival of the French in Algeria led to a change in operation which begins with the training of teachers with the creation in 1865 of the ' Ecole Normale de Bouzaréah : mixed European and boys recruited natives. This number says that
Ferhat Abbas say: "These missionaries of the French School of Science and whose devotion to the native school was matched their determination to bring the Algerians to France"!

Act of Jules Ferry in 1879 that creates 3 Graduate School of Law of Letters and Sciences.
The 4 high schools are grouped together in 1887 at the "Palais des Facultés" on the site of Camp Isly. A law in 1896
builds in Universities these high schools
The law of 30 December 1909 establishes as the 4 Universities Faculties:
· THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE
· THE FACULTY OF LAW
· THE FACULTY OF LETTERS
· THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE
social strata: settlers Jewish and Muslim natives
indigenous Jews are first subjected to the same rules as native Muslims, until they get 1871 or by naturalization "Cremieux decree" which grants citizenship to all French Jews to Algeria. This fact, this is hotly contested Algeria, where a violent anti-Jewish movement culminated at the very end of the century and in France. The
Senatufconfultum of July 14, 1865 attributed to the indigenous nationality but not French citizenship. However, this Senatufconfultum opened to Muslims to Jews as an individual accession process to the French citizenship, described incorrectly as "naturalization". The application requires the renunciation of Muslim personal status is a renunciation of Islam. In addition, the application could be refused.
C-Land Management and Agriculture
In 1830 an estimated 2.4 million ha of arable land area of 600 000ha in durum wheat, 600 barley and 000ha 000ha in 1200 grazed fallow. These figures are just necessary needs.
Also:
· The storage possibilities are weak destroying the good years
• The north African climate is temperamental with frequent meteorological disasters (rainfall often insufficient, irregular and ill-distributed late spring frosts - sirocco - drought and scalding end vegetation)
· Harvesting is done by hand with a sickle, to undermine or by uprooting native grain. The first
Senatus-consulte of 1865 recognized tribes the freehold land. The delimitation of the territories of the tribes, and fractions douars recognized and classified in several categories:
Melk or private property or collective ownership
Arch
communal douars and domanial
However, redevelopment of land is a retrospective of the future bases of municipal life which led the investigation of General MacMahon dated 1 March 1865, specifies Moreover, the common-douar is nothing but the "seed of the common Arab."
--- A second innovation of this Senatufconfultum was specifically Arab country, the institution of the Djemaa existed previously in areas where Berber functioned as local assemblies.
II) The Settlers:
Small settlers
, Algeria and became a settlement has a strong land use. Attracted by the lure of free land or near, the peasants of France or elsewhere come, settle, conduct a miserable life and lasts for a few years, after which, having squandered their savings and often a lot of debt, their only resource to get rid of "their property", and take a trade or seek "employment." These "small settlers" and sell to the natives, the descendants of those who have long been expropriated.
Large capitalist farms :
But all lands that are abandoned by their original owner does not however go into the hands of the natives. Part is purchased, cheaply, by one or two settlers village, richer than others, and coming together to concentrate in their hands for quite large areas. The holders of these important areas do not generally operate themselves, they are content to be "owners", that is to say they donate them, by parcel, leased, or more often sharecropping, to natives who operate on their own at their own risk, by paying a fee to the European owner. The pride of these capitalist enterprises: the Algerian vineyard has been growing at a rapid pace. It covers in 1906, 221 000 hectares and its production in good years, over 13 million hectoliters. The Mediterranean climate, offering even the possibility of growing citrus fruits to be exported, mainly to France, is more abundant.
III) "Muslims in Algeria" in colonial times:
In Algeria, although the French territory has been declared with the administrative status of three departments: Algiers, Oran and Constantine, all the inhabitants do not enjoy rights of citizenship. The fullness of these rights was the privilege of a minority, Europeans and Jews, considered "French in Algeria," while the "natives" were excluded, except some of them, whose application naturalization was accepted that exceptionally elsewhere were rejected by their communities who called them m'tourni (the "returned" in Arabic). code rights of citizenship that governed the lives of the natives was very uneven. The
France ruled Algeria; GOLD in France, there was never said that "ruled" a department. The review of the status of Algerians is instructive: the European of Algeria (French or from the European immigrations ) had the status of French, while the Algerian regime fell within the code of rights of citizenship .
In 1947 there was promulgated a new statute. One we could hope that it opened the way for a new Algeria, established the inequality of civil rights, since it instituted two electoral colleges, the first college (900,000 European) elected 60 representatives to the Assembly of Algeria, the second college (9 million indigenous people) also has 60 representatives elected at that meeting.
Certainly, from 1919, various laws had allowed some "native" to become, under certain conditions, French citizens, but it was always respecting a small minority. For almost all Algerians, there has never been equal status, since these, while having the French nationality, were distinguished from the rest of the population, the term "French Muslims "replacing that of" native ", but keeping the same meaning.
In fact, the inequality between Europeans and Algerians in Algeria was institutionalized with respect to taxes, criminal justice, military service, access the public service, remuneration in the public, in access to education.
The settler fears the native evolved, likely to compete. While all European children are educated, young Muslims are abandoned . In the cities, they wax boots and settle in slums. In the countryside, under-nutrition and infant mortality are rampant. No technical training, very few professional schools, no teaching of Arabic, not agricultural credit, no habitat, no sanitation, no hospitals.
wages of the native in 1910 ranged between 0.5 and 1.5 francs for a 14-hour day of work. From 1910 to 1920 he was 4 francs. From 1920 to 1935 it is 4 to 8 francs. From 1935 to 1942 it is 8 to 12 francs. In 1945 it is 250 to 360 francs.
We can not deny that the exploitation of natives who made the rich settlers. As stated
Ferrat Abbas in "the colonial night": "The Algerian, except for a handful of men closely associated with Europe, saw him give up the crumbs that colonialism"
The colon has two powers: he is French in Paris and is the first Algerian Algiers. While no Arab has no: he is away in Paris and legally a minor at Algiers.
But native did not subjugate themselves, they had begun to reclaim their land by buying up properties that the settlers abandoned. Moving from passive resistance to active resistance, the Algerian people resumed the struggle to assert his right against refoulement al'existence and cantonment.
The situation imposed on Algerians in the days of French colonization is as follows: to become a French citizen, was questioning his religious affiliation. This denial of citizenship (which is regarded by religion as a private matter), the establishment of a false model of the Republic, led to the rise of an independence movement, based on religious and communal the war Algeria with the outcome that we know.

Algiers, a colonial city
Originally, the city is a Phoenician name Ikosim , which is Latinized (Icosium) during Roman, Vandal, and Byzantine. Algiers, known as "Regency of Algiers," is headed for three centuries by the Janissaries (Turkish troops).
From 10th to 15th century Algiers undergoes domination of all the contenders who vied for power in the central Maghrib. In the late 15th century, Algiers like other coastal towns suffered the Maghreb coup against the "Reconquista" of Spain. The population grew with the arrival of many immigrants and Andalusian city grows. Faced with the persistence of the Christian Crusade, the population of Algiers sought the protection of the brothers Barbarossa, who settled in Algiers in 1516. During this period
"Ottoman", the seat of government and administration was at the Palace of Jenin in the lower part of the city. It will install the beylerbeys from 1534 to 1585, the Pasha of 1585 to 1659, the Agha from 1659 to 1971 and, finally, Deys 1671 to 1817. It is then transferred to the Casbah until 1830. Country's capital during the period 1529-1830, Algiers is a fortified with a formidable fleet, which gives it unparalleled authority at sea
from 16th to 19th century mansions of dignitaries and officials being built in the lower part of the city: Dar Hassan Pacha, Dar Aziza, Dar Mustapha Pasha. This becomes part of the town's business district. A large shopping street develops, from Bab El Oued Bab to Azzoun. This is the area of the souks, fairly close to the Palace the Jenina. On the eve of the French occupation, Algiers, extends in part between the street Bengana Boulevard Hahkad, the citadel (Kasbah) and the port is 3200 meters of walls with five gates that enclose it. The suburbs are the country with beautiful villas buried in a green and extensive gardens that are admired by Europeans. Uptown, Jebel as it is called, is the real city with its mosques, narrow streets and zaouias.
expansion and development of the city of Algiers during the French colonialism :
A-roads. After
the conquest of 1830, two resources available to the French to occupy the homes Moorish architecture to adapt to them and that to demolish a few to build roadways and squares can be used for gatherings troops and markets.
The topography of the city may, through the vicinity of the port, have a greater economic interest. Thus, it is in this area has the highest processing. It begins with some demolitions between Bab Azoun and Navy, as well as the street bazaars to allow trucks to circulate freely.
It continues the street layout Azoun Bab, Bab el Oued and the Navy who were previously just expanded. For the first two, we construct arcaded streets and we passed the establishment of galleries, to fight against the sun. Also the opening of two other streets is decided, those of Chartres and Consuls to establish communication between North and South doors in case the streets Azoun Bab el Oued and Bab were rendered unusable.
B-Habitat:
As regards housing, the French lodge in the upper town, in most homes located along the ramparts. Is continued Europeanisation the Muslim city; develop Moorish buildings seems to be the best program to use the city. Thus, in 1839, the lower part of the city tends to disappear, demolitions and expropriations help give a new aspect to this neighborhood. The immigration of Europeans is important. All new entrants begin by first occupying Moorish houses that are transformed to meet new demands. These converted houses soon become unhealthy and poorly ventilated buildings. During his trip, Napoleon III made a personal investigation that results in stopping the demolition of the old city. The report said that senior city must remain intact. The demolition of the uptown stops. One begins to realize that it is difficult to graft a European city on a Muslim city. Time alone is then responsible for changing the appearance of the city.
The town grew so slowly, and neighborhoods of Algiers quite similar to Parisian neighborhoods, each with its housing types Haussmann with the necessary places in public life (garden, church, town hall, school ). The old Ottoman sumptuous villas are used as second homes requisitioned by the great French families. A
From 1903, the French government calls for respect for indigenous culture, so the Moorish Revival style was born. (Example: large post). The beautification of the city is accentuated during the years 1930 (the centenary of the conquest of Algeria). It's a way to justify colonialism and to show its success. For this, we build museums (Museum of Fine Arts), gardens (garden trials), arts venues (villa eltif abd).
c-Transportation:
Railway: In 1892 the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer Roads in Algeria (CFRA) was founded. One of them is centered on Algiers. It consists of a coastline through Algiers by the boulevards along the harbor.
Tramway: In 1892 the Compagnie des Tramways Algerians (TA) is created to be a purely urban network in Algiers. A long line was built parallel to the lines of CFRA, but inside the city.
Trolleybus: In addition to the streetcar line of the TA, a new trolley bus line was put into service.

Saigon, today called Ho Chi Minh City ( from 1975), is the first city in Viet Nam, located near the delta of the Mekong . This city is the metropolis of southern Iraq. During colonization, it was the capital of
the French Indochina (Cochin). And thus retains much of Saigon traces, through its architecture, this colonial period.
We therefore find similarities between Algiers and Saigon. Particular architecture of the streets, means of transportation, neighborhoods and even lifestyle.
"The streets and sidewalks near the top were great. Space orgiastic useless not negligent was offered the powerful break. And in the streets dropped their cars rubber, suspended in a semi impressive silence. [...] Circuit trams scrupulously avoided the upper quarter. It would have been useless in fact there were trams in that quarter the city, where everyone was driving cars. [...] It was even circuits of trams strictly circumscribing the Eden district was still the top from those who crowded trams, white dust, and under a sun with a dizzying dragged slowly dying in thunder junk, you could get an idea of another city, which was not white. " (Description of Saigon by Marguerite Duras, from his book Dam against the Pacific published in 1950.
[...] "Saigon looks like quite a small town in southern France. The layout of the city has wide streets shaded beautiful trees, and its animation is quite different from that of a British colonial city of east. It is a small town gay and pleasant. It has an opera house with a dazzling white [...], which opens onto a broad avenue, and a brand new city hall. From hotels, terraces welcome to the cocktail hour, a large number of French. [...]. Victorias pass at full speed, pulled by two ponies and honking motorists. The sun shines in a cloudless sky and the shadow freezes, heat crushed. " (Vision of Saigon, by Somerset Maugham, from the book A Gentleman in Asia, published in 1930).
Algiers today :
Despite the traces left by colonialism, there is, nowadays, major changes in the architecture of Algiers. Some buildings have changed functions (examples: church converted into a mosque or a museum: Sacred Heart, Our Lady of Africa, Ketchaoua) others have been or will be demolished (example: the Parisian building in Algiers center) and the majority of the names of streets, squares and boulevards have been modified.

What Will Be Of Value In 200 Years
The natives in the French army
[Lebel Model 1886 rifle, gun of the French army adopted in 1887 which was widely used until after the First World War and during the Second World War]
II-The role of the natives during the colonial wars:
1.The conditions of natives in the French army :
The colonies are composed of many men that can be used to power the city. Despite the resistance encountered by the recruitment, France has found that the soldiers of the colonies fought well and they are fairly well integrated into the army.
2.The consequences of this commitment: Participation
colonial troops in various wars is like a relief for the city. It also appears as the symbol of the empire and the participation in combat is a testament to their attachment to France and its colonial work.
III-The natives during the First World War recruitment
1.How was it done?
In August 1914, the beginning of the First World War, the French high command decides to use native troops in the conflict.
2.The balance recruitment :
More than 275,000 native soldiers have served in the colonial army. At the end of the war in November 1918, their total losses amounted to 28 700 dead and 6,500 missing.
IV-The natives during the Second World War:
During WWII, the French army 350 000 soldiers natives whose 134,000 Algerians, 73,000 Moroccans, 26,000 Tunisians and 92,000 soldiers from Black Africa . Indigenous people come from different countries that form the French colonies, which are located in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and in sub-Saharan Africa.
Algerian soldiers are grouped into regiments of Algerian sharpshooters (FSA °). Algerian infantry regiments of infantry units were trained in Algeria, they belonged to the French Army and there were 19.
The Algerian soldiers contribute to the glories of the French army. They participate in different stages of the liberation of Europe. They constitute the bulk of the infantry, and are therefore most at risk in combat. Despite little training they have, the Algerian soldiers demonstrate qualities of military efficiency and bravery in battle or bloody hard and they break the German defenses with courage and honor. The sharpshooters
Algerians took part in fighting the toughest and most deadly of the Second World War which are:
- The Battle of Mont-Cassino release of Marseilles and Toulon, Battle of the Vosges-release of the The conquest of Alsace-Germany
At the end World War II, among the 409,000 troops mobilized in North Africa, an estimated 11,200 soldiers have been killed, died fighting for France. Finally, and as once said former Senator Gaston Monnerville:
"Without the Empire, France would be a liberated country. With him, she is a winning nation."

The Zouaves are infantry units that owe their name to the tribal confederation of Zouaoua Kabyle (Igawawen in Kabyle).
The uniform of Zouaves is quite complicated and uncomfortable. The Zouave fez wear a turban, a short jacket, a wide cloth belt, baggy trousers or "seroual", white spats and jambières.Une reasons the small number of Zouave units in the armies of the time is the additional cost of that particular uniform, higher than the uniform simple cut and mass produced for other units.
The motto of the French Zouaves is: "Being Zouave is an honor. The stay is a must. "
Zouave regiments were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd et29e regiments.
The Zouaves fought on several fronts, particularly during the conquest of Algeria, the campaigns of the Second Empire and during the First World War.

II-The role of the natives during the colonial wars:
1.The conditions of natives in the French army :
The colonies are composed of many men that can be used to power the city. Despite the resistance encountered by the recruitment, France has found that the soldiers of the colonies fought well and they are fairly well integrated into the army.
The passage in the French army is probably decisive for the colonized, probably more for those whom the military integration. But despite this, they are never treated and considered the equal of French soldiers. Level grades: no native exceeds the rank of lieutenant. Abuse and humiliation are often practiced against them.
2.The consequences of this commitment: Participation
colonial troops in various wars is like a relief for the city. It also appears as the symbol of the empire and the participation in combat is a testament to their attachment to France and its colonial work.
Natives involved in all the battles and gain prestige.
On the front they have a positive image and maintain their reputation for unity response of shock, those fighters with great stamina. They maintain that image in all confrontations militaires.L Empire serves both France and the allies during the conflict. Although it plays a role in the forefront, many died in defense of France and especially for human rights. As can be seen that participation as training for colonial soldiers, most of them served their country a little later. And foremost, they learn to defend their rights, and better organized. So before you defend France, they defend their country, also to be released.
In 1944, the French army has 350,000 soldiers, so that 134,000 indigenous Algerians, Moroccans 73000, 26000 and finally 92000 Tunisian soldiers black Africa that are career military personnel or volunteers. They participate in all the battles from Tunisia to Alsace by way of Italy, Corsica and Provence. They fight for what they see as their country. They are Zouaves, hunters, sharpshooters and form the "Army of Africa" which constituted one of the most important components of the French army.
III-The natives during the First World War recruitment
1.How was it done?
In August 1914, the beginning of the First World War, the French high command decides to use native troops in the conflict.
For this, he calls for the commitment in the colonies, particularly in West Africa and French Equatorial. Diagne first black African member French National Assembly, takes over and manages recruitment: He calls all "African people" in patriotic loyalty and gathering in the folds of the flag of the "motherland".
However, these calls have resulted in 1915, the emergence of resistance among indigenous peoples, including forced recruitment, and is brutally slow. That total failure to France.Avec arrival in 1917 of Georges Clemenceau to the position of Chairman of the Board, Diagne became commissioner of the republic. He began a new recruiting campaign in black Africa and more peaceful: Providing incentives for natives allowances, establishment of schools, free of rights of citizenship, French citizenship, ... This campaign has enabled the recruitment of 63,000 men in French West Africa, and 14000 in French Equatorial Africa.
2.The balance recruitment :
More than 275,000 native soldiers have served in the colonial army. At the end of the war in November 1918, their total losses amounted to 28 700 dead and 6,500 missing.
IV-The natives during the Second World War:
During WWII, the French army 350 000 soldiers natives whose 134,000 Algerians, 73,000 Moroccans, 26,000 Tunisians and 92,000 soldiers from Black Africa . Indigenous people come from different countries that form the French colonies, which are located in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and in sub-Saharan Africa.
Algerian soldiers are grouped into regiments of Algerian sharpshooters (FSA °). Algerian infantry regiments of infantry units were trained in Algeria, they belonged to the French Army and there were 19.
The Algerian soldiers contribute to the glories of the French army. They participate in different stages of the liberation of Europe. They constitute the bulk of the infantry, and are therefore most at risk in combat. Despite little training they have, the Algerian soldiers demonstrate qualities of military efficiency and bravery in battle or bloody hard and they break the German defenses with courage and honor. The sharpshooters
Algerians took part in fighting the toughest and most deadly of the Second World War which are:
- The Battle of Mont-Cassino release of Marseilles and Toulon, Battle of the Vosges-release of the The conquest of Alsace-Germany
At the end World War II, among the 409,000 troops mobilized in North Africa, an estimated 11,200 soldiers have been killed, died fighting for France. Finally, and as once said former Senator Gaston Monnerville:
