France is, was, and always has been a civilizing force in Europe and abroad

Holy projection
Most have been destroyed and rebuilt since
Some still exist but its rare
>France had abolished pedophilia
>Holy projection
They literally did
Male on male pedophilia was rampant in pre-colonial Algeria
Pederasty was more common in france than anywhere in the fricking world so thats rich

No it wasnt
Just some homosexual twink projection that wanted to get raped by some berber bulls
>Male on male pedophilia was rampant in pre-colonial Algeria
It was rampant in post colonial algeria too. Why do you think all those famous french authors were hanging around Marrakesh?

Tocqueville wrote that in the 1840s, while the war of conquest was still raging and the place was in chaos.
So at the time, it was probably true.
But if you look at it again in 1900 (long after the war had ended), it was very different.
Algeria in 1900 was much more civilized than Algeria in 1830.
France had abolished pedophilia and slavery, built tons of infrastructure, brought modern medicine that made the mortality rate drop, brought technology that improved agriculture...etc
But of course in the 1840s, none of this had happened yet, so the only difference with 1830 was the chaos of warfare.
>France had...built tons of infrastructure,
I remember reading something about the numbers of airports, seaports, bridges, railroads, schools, colleges, hospitals etc built by the French in Algeria.
Do you have any data about the numbers of these things that the French constructed?

>In 1962, France bequeathed to Algeria an exceptional heritage and not “trifles” and “worthless things”, namely 54,000 kilometers of roads and tracks (80,000 with the Saharan tracks), 31 national roads including nearly 9,000 kilometers were paved, 4,300 km of railway lines, 4 ports equipped to international standards, 23 developed ports (including 10 accessible to large cargo ships and including 5 which could be served by liners), 34 maritime lighthouses, a dozen of main aerodromes, hundreds of engineering structures (bridges, tunnels, viaducts, dams, etc.), thousands of administrative buildings, barracks, official buildings, 31 hydroelectric or thermal power stations, around a hundred important industries in the sectors of construction, metallurgy, cement works etc., thousands of schools, training institutes, high schools, universities with 800,000 children enrolled in 17,000 classes (i.e. as many teachers , two-thirds of which are French), a 2,000-bed university hospital in Algiers, three large capital hospitals in Algiers, Oran and Constantine, 14 specialized hospitals and 112 multi-purpose hospitals, i.e. the exceptional figure of one bed for 300 inhabitants. Not to mention a flourishing agriculture left fallow after independence, so much so that today Algeria has to import tomato paste, chickpeas and semolina for couscous...
Yeah no shit idiot that intermediate period had major international industrialization, didnt have anything to do with something inherent to french algeria, same shit wouldve happened if it was a vietnamese protectorate or whatever the frick
No, moron.
Go read about the absolute state of Saudi Arabia in 1900 if you want an idea of how Algeria would have looked without colonialism
>Algeria in 1900 was much more civilized than Algeria in 1830.
Tocqueville himself admits that Abdel Kader is a world historical figure that would modernize Algeria on the level of France, England, and Germany. He even compares him to Oliver Cromwell. And then goes on to say that allowing Algeria to modernize would be an existential threat to France and that they need to do everything they can to keep Algeria divided and economically backwards.
>France had abolished pedophilia
Oh, you're joking. Good one.
>Tocqueville himself admits that Abdel Kader is a world historical figure that would modernize Algeria on the level of France, England, and Germany.
Yeah bro
That random jihadi goatfricket was totally gonna turn the medieval shithole that was 1830s Algeria into something on par with Western Europe
>Abd-el-Kader, who is obviously a spirit of the rarest and most dangerous kind, a mixture of sincere and feigned enthusiasm, a kind of Muslim Cromwell; Abd-el-Kader, I say, has understood this marvelously. In all his external acts, the prince shows himself much less than a saint: he hides constantly behind the interest of the religion for which, he says, he acts; it is as interpreter of the Quran and with the Quran in his hand that he enjoins and condemns, it is reform that he preaches as much as obedience; his humility grows with his power.
Cope more /misc/tard. Even France ended up awarding him a medal of honour.
>The government of Abd-el-Kader is already more centralised, more agile and stronger than that of the Turks ever was. It brings together with less effort a greater number of men and more money. This is partly due to what I have said precisely in showing the necessary consequences of European contact with other peoples. Abd-el-Kader retained from the Arab all that was necessary to exalt his compatriots, he took from us all that was necessary to subdue them.
>The greatest difficulty encountered by a prince who wishes to govern a confederation of Arab tribes is this: At every moment he is exposed to the risk of finding before him an organised force which resists him, while he is never sure of finding at his disposal the means to enforce his power. The first condition of power and even of existence for such a prince is therefore to possess an army which belongs to him, independently of that which the tribes may circumstantially provide him with, an army which, though perhaps incapable of defeating a general revolt, is at least capable of putting down the partial resistances which are encountered every day.
>All this is very new among the Arabs. The ambition shown by Abd-el-Kader has been shown with more or less success by many others. But he is the first who has taken from his contact with Europe the ideas which will make his enterprise succeed in a lasting way. We must not, therefore, rely on the past and believe that this power, after having shone for a while, will fade away like so many others. On the contrary, it is to be feared that Abd-el-Kader is in the process of founding in Arab lands, and around us, a power which is more centralised, more agile, more powerful, more experienced and more regular than all those which have succeeded one another for centuries in this part of the world. We must therefore try not to let him complete this formidable task.
cont.
>With his army he raised regular taxes which in turn enabled him to maintain and keep standing his army. With the help of this same permanent force, he forms stores, prepares resources, envisions strategies, and can bring them quietly about. Thanks to it, he is always ready to prevent or crush in detail all resistance, while the malcontents need to gather all together and agree in advance to attack him successfully. Thus he leads the majority by enthusiasm and the minority by fear. Such is the secret of his power, it is not difficult to understand; for what Abd-el-Kader is attempting is not new in the world. A social work very similar to that which took place in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages is being done at the moment in these half-wild lands of Africa. Abd-el-Kader, who probably never heard of what was happening in France in the fifteenth century, is acting towards the tribes in precisely the same way as our kings and in particular Charles VII acted against feudalism. He created companies of ordinance. And with the help of this independent force, he shot down in whole the small powers that together could easily rule over him. The kings of France took advantage of each small rebellion to strip the great vassals and to bring new territories under their direct administration. Abd-el-Kader seized the same opportunities to destroy successively in each tribe the most important men who were in his way. It is the same procedure applied in a slightly different way. Without knowing the history of these princes, but obeying an instinct similar to that which made them act, he disperses or destroys every day the old and powerful families, and makes new ones arise which owe their authority to him and do not possess an authority which is old and well established enough to be able to alarm his own. He is not only making war on the French, but on the hereditary aristocracy of his country.
You mix on purpose France and the judeo-masonic Republic which is a criminal regime (the original USSR).
Cope and seethe
kek this. It would have been morocco tier at best
>France had abolished pedophilia and slavery
Big mistake in my book. Should've kept child sex slaves
>The French abolished
Tell that to Foucault
>On the other hand, I have often heard in France men whom I respect, but whom I do not agree with, say that it wrong to burn the harvests, to empty the silos and finally to imprison unarmed men, women and children. These are, in my opinion, unfortunate necessities, but ones to which any people who want to make war on the Arabs will be obliged to submit. And, if I must say what I think, these acts do not revolt me more or even as much as several others which the law of war obviously authorizes and which take place in all the wars of Europe. Why is it more odious to burn harvests and take women and children prisoner than to bombard the harmless population of a besieged city or to seize merchant ships belonging to the subjects of an enemy power at sea? The one is, in my opinion, much crueler and less justifiable than the other.
>If in Europe one does not burn the harvests, it is because in general one makes war on governments and not on peoples; if one only takes prisoners of war, it is because the armies hold firm and the civilian populations do not shy away from conquest. In a word, everywhere one finds the means to seize political power without attacking the governed or even by gathering against them the resources necessary for war.
What did he mean by this?
Either he was right about everything or he's the most coherent writer I've ever seen.
Why did France merge different separate kingdoms into Algiers (Algeria)
Like Kingdom of Ait Abbas and Sultanate of touggourt and ghardaia
Wouldn't it have been best to keep them separate
French are obsessed with centralization. To the extent that the French language is essentially a dialect of Paris, they genocides entire French towns to accomplish this. Given a long enough time frame they would have gladly merged with Algeria into a mulatto trans-African empire, so long as the Dey was able to rule from Paris with his court of Monsieur Beyliks. They did have enough for sight to keep Algerians divided for the first half century or so while they consolidated their power, but asking France not to consolidate and standardize is like asking a lepord to change its stripes.
I feel bad for the people of those kingdoms, now they are left with a new state that doesn't represent them
The berber language and culture was banned entirely after (algeria) independence
current Algeia is a meme state but I am curious what would real Algeria look like on a map if the French kept the real borders intact
Algeria started trending towards consolidation and modernization the moment the Ottomans were removed. If France hadn't done it, they likely would have done it themselves much faster.
>arabs
>consolidation
nice Joke
>t I am curious what would real Algeria look like on a map
What he said
The eastern half would be two berber states and in the south 3 or 2 possible states. Touareg and touggourt. The m'zab would probably join either one or they would all form a confederation of sorts
>The city also had its own sultanate dynasty, the “sultanate of Tuggurt”, which was founded in 1414. Over the years the dynasty saw the rise of fourteen sultans until it was eventually abolished by the French colonial authorities in 1854.
>Why did France merge different separate kingdoms into Algiers (Algeria)
>Wouldn't it have been best to keep them separate
France... did keep them separate. There were three departements: Alger, Oran, and Constantin; plus the great Sahara hinterland. All were mostly run from Paris.
You could argue that France's departmental borders were bullshit over there but then, its departments' borders back home in France were pretty gay as well.
>France... did keep them separate
So where are these kingdoms today? What happened to the royals
same thing as happened to John the Magnificent's archduchy spanning from Berry to Auvergne.
No it didn't lmao those departments are just for administration purposes. The kingdoms were absorbed entirely into Algiers (Algeria)
If it kept them separate they wouldn't be part of Algeria today and they would've had their own department or a protectorate status of sorts
>what would real Algeria look like on a map
similar to the ottoman regency
Only the capital Algiers and the north western half of Algeria
Because the zirid dynasty wich was the ancestor of the algerian stare controlled all of those
Current algeria is historic algeria + all of the territory they added after colonisation in the south
No more like anything from coast to ouragla
>wich was the ancestor of the algerian stare
No it isn't. Algeria is officially an arab state and claims the emirate of abdelkader as the foundation of Algeria
It banned berber language and culture for decades.
The zirid dynasty is related to the Kingdom of Ait Abbas (both are the same sanhaja berber tribe) so It is that kingdom of Ait Abbas that controlled modern day Algeria not the reverse
>Current algeria is historic algeria
Nta but No it isn't
Algeria (Dzayr) is literally zirid/ziri in berber/arabic you idiot, ziri was a berber warlord who founded algiers, the ziri state and gave his name to algiers/algeria
The flag is an inspiration from multiple medieval berber dynasty (zyanid, Hafsid, zirid, hammadid)
You an idiot
Yeah that name was given by the zirids and the kingdom Of Ait Abbas is the successor state to it because they're the same berber tribe. Not current ALGERIA which is solely an arab state
>The flag is an inspiration from multiple medieval berber dynasty (zyanid, Hafsid, zirid, hammadid)
No it isn't. It was created by a French woman named "Émilie Busquant" who was the wife of an algerian national. And Algeria officially does not claim any of those dynasties
>You an idiot
yes (You)'re an idiot. The Algerian state literally claim Abdelkader as the founder of Algeria and banned berber culture and language for decades and killed tens of thousands of berbers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Spring_(Algeria)
>It was created by a French woman named "Émilie Busquant
>She is perhaps best known as the creator of the Algerian flag. While there is some dispute over who exactly designed green and white with red star and crescent symbol,[7] Émilie is generally credited as having sewed the first version of the flag.[2]
HOLY KEK nafris are pathetically useless
You're correct.
>t.algerian nafri
No its not you idiot
This is femininist frog revisionist history
The crescent and star come from the hafsids/zyanids, the white and red from ifrenids and the Green from zirids and fatimids
>killed then of thousands of berbers
>post terrorist insurrection
You an idiot or a makist crybaby gay
Stop seething, algeria is a berber state wheter its the name, flag, people/genetics or culture/language that is very mixed with berber
>>post terrorist insurrection
>literally just people wanting to speak their native language (berber) without going to jail
you're a delusional nafri
He's a French nafri. I spoken with him a few times on other boards, he's totally clueless about the country he's chauvinistic about and projects his french maghrebien identity onto nafrica.
oh and he's actually an arab yet pretends to be berber KEK

you've had no rebuttal and proved your lack of knowledge once again just like the last time we talked. Do yourself a favour and open a book or just stop talking about topics that you're ignorant at
>algeria is a berber state wheter its the name, flag, people/genetics or culture/language that is very mixed with berber
luckily it is not up to you to decide. You're a young nation that never existed before the French. That is the truth no amount of coping will change it
>post terrorist insurrection
so you're an illiterate too
expected nothing less from a nafri
Are there any good sources on ottoman algeria?
Why was it such a backward shithole? Even the income from piracy was mostly given to Constantinople
There are translations of Tocqueville's writings online
https://tikhanovlibrary.substack.com/p/alexis-de-tocquevilles-first-letter
The piracy thing was mostly a myth. It hadn't been widespread for a century before France invaded, and that was mostly caused by Charles X trying to extend his power by starting a war and to get out of paying french debts.
>The piracy thing was mostly a myth. It hadn't been widespread for a century before France invaded
You nafris revisionists are hilarous.
Barbary piracy was a serious issue in the 18th and early 19th century and it's a well recorded fact even in English speaking documents (so there goes your bullshit about it having been made up by France as an excuse to invade)
you're both right
I only take issue when chuds claim it was a European problem even though the English were more than happy to pay tributes and watch other rival euros lose their ships
thanks
But I want to know before the french arrived
Why were the natives barred from working in administration or becoming Dey's or the famines and stagnant population growth...etc
The French burned most of the libraries when they arrived, so there's truthfully not a lot to go on. Natives being barred from administration or becoming Deys was, I believe, standard practice for the Ottomans (and most empires) at the time. Constantinople would assign administrators from its own courts, and send them abroad to govern.

It might be true of some of the Muslims in Algeria, but keep in mind their economy was based on piracy before first the Americans and then the French ended that.
If piracy is what it takes to make Muslim society happy, ordered, scholarly, and civilised then Muslim society deserves extinction. Algeria needs to return to Augustine and Gelasius.
>Algeria needs to return to Augustine and Gelasius
They didn't invent shit so Algeria would've stayed the same
The same could be applied to the British. Don't be so naive.
Pre-colonial Algeria is kino
french colonization was bad because it was ultimately a israeli project, just look at the Crémieux Decree, its not a concidence. the french like the israelites also played a part in the spread of pan-arabist filth.
Here's an interesting text about colonization of Algeria in the second half of the 19th century
Does anyone have any good book recommendations for a history of the French conquest of Algeria and the colonial policies / integration of Algeria into metropolitan France?
here's another incident for the French nafri homosexual to dismiss again
