History

The Sultan Abd al-Rahman's support for Emir Abd al-Qadir led to the French bombarding Tangier on 6 August.[2] On 14 August, Moroccan troops were attacked by general Thomas Robert Bugeaud in the battle of Isly at Wadi Isly, not far from the French Algerian border.[3] The day following the battle, French Navy forces bombarded and occupied Mogador.[4][5]

A month later, the Treaty of Tangier was signed on 10 September 1844, ending the war, in which Morocco recognised Algeria as a French possession.[1]
