1879 CE

Every action in North Africa affects the complicated European balance of power, which had been radically altered by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, which had ended in French defeat.

After it, the political map of Europe had been radically altered: Imperial Germany had become the most important power in continental Europe.

A new French colonial policy is launched in 1879, when Charles de Freycinet becomes prime minister of France and Admiral Bernard Jauréguiberry his minister of the navy: the French government begins to lend more active support to military expansion in western and northern Africa.
