Years: 1828 - 1839
Most of France's actions in Algeria, not least the invasion of Algiers, are propelled by contradictory impulses.
In the period between Napoleon's downfall in 1815 and the revolution of 1830, the restored French monarchy is in crisis, and the dey is weak politically, economically, and militarily.
The French monarch seeks to reverse his domestic unpopularity.
As a result of what the French considers an insult to the French consul in Algiers by the dey in 1827, France blockades Algiers for three years.
France uses the failure of the blockade as a reason for a military expedition against Algiers in 1830.
