Algiers surrendered to French invaders, ending the Regency of Algiers (coat of arms pictured).

On July 5, in the year 1830, Algiers surrendered to French invaders, ending the Regency of Algiers (coat of arms pictured). This event is recorded as a Selected Events event in the history of July 5, one of 424 recorded events on this date across all of history.

The invasion of Algiers was a large-scale military operation by which the Kingdom of France, ruled by King Charles X, invaded and conquered the Regency of Algiers. A diplomatic incident in 1827, the so-called 'Fan Affair', served as a pretext to initiate a blockade against the port of Algiers. After three years of standstill and a more severe incident in which a French ship carrying an ambassador to the dey with a proposal for negotiations was fired upon, the French determined that more forceful action was required. Charles X also sought to divert attention from turbulent French domestic affairs which culminated with his deposition during the later stages of the invasion in the July Revolution.
