Secession of Constantine (Algeria)

Years: 1826 - 1837

In 1826, the last Bey of Constantine, Ahmed Bey ben Mohamed Chérif, becomes the new head of state.

He leads a fierce resistance against French forces, which invade Algeria four years later.

By October 13, 1837, the territory is captured by France, and from 1848 on until 1962 it is an integral part of the French motherland and center of the Constantine Département.

"{Readers} take infinitely more pleasure in knowing the variety of incidents that are contained in them, without ever thinking of imitating them, believing the imitation not only difficult, but impossible: as if heaven, the sun, the elements, and men should have changed the order of their motions and power, from what they were anciently"

― Niccolò Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy (1517)
