Mostaganem, Expedition of

Years: 1558 - 1558

The Expedition of Mostaganem occurs in 1558, when Spanish forces attempt to capture the city of Mostaganem, in modern Algeria, from the Ottomans.

The expedition is supposed to be a decisive step in the conquest of the Ottoman base of Algiers, but it ends in failure.
