The Independence of Southern Algiers {Event/Short Bio}

  I would like to inform you before I start that this is going to be an event and a short bio, the whole Algerian region will be covered in a later date, when there is an actual Algerian (As in covers most, or part of modern Algeria, or unifies most of Algeria) nation.

  Now let us start with geography, YAY!! Well Southern Algeria is mainly Sahara, the Sahara which you might find pictured in movies. With that new information, I should introduce the conflict, some of the nobles and high ranking families of the old government were forced to migrate following the toppling of the old government in 1529 by "Red Beard" or Hayreddin Barbarossa.

  A quick event to keep in mind in the alternate history timeline, is that in 1728 a bustling city arose from a few large villages, and they named it Southern Algiers. By this time, Southern Algiers was the only piece of independent land in the Area, the northern half being controlled by the Regency of Algeria, the Western portion of Southern Algeria being controlled by Morocco, and the southeastern half being two Kingdoms.

  In 1734 the Eyalet of Algeria held a festival commemorating the 206th anniversary of the toppling of the old kingdom. This, as expected, got the descendants, and also revolutionaries, stirred. A big massacre occurred halfway through the festival, after a group of revolutionaries and descendants to previous nobles/high ranking officials gathered in protest against the festival (protest in the terms of 18th century fits into the terms of riot nowadays), in which 700 people died.

   This enraged Southern Algiers and the newly formed city-state decided to declare war on the Eyalet of Algeria, therefore also declaring war on the Ottomans.

  Southern Algiers managed to gain quite a  bit of land, although lost ultimately. Then in 1738 the Ottomans, along with the two Kingdoms to the southeast tried to attack Southern Algiers, Southern Algiers managed to defeat them, since they had better knowledge of the land, before launching an offensive and toppling the two kingdoms within a month of the beginning of the war.

  Shortly after, Southern Algiers wrote a constitution, and proclaimed itself a Emirate, henceforth The Emirate of Southern Algiers was born.
