1517 CE

Oruç now controls a considerable territory the size of colonial French Algeria in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

For Oruç, the best protection against Spain is to join the Ottoman Empire, his homeland and Spain's main rival.

For this he has to relinquish his title of Sultan of Algiers to the Ottomans.

He does this in 1517 and offers Algiers to the Ottoman Sultan.

The Sultan accepts Algiers as an Ottoman Sanjak (province), appoints Oruç as the Bey (Governor) of Algiers and Beylerbey (Chief Governor) of the West Mediterranean, and promises to support him with janissaries, galleys and cannons.
