The Turks would do that if the Ottomans had actually colonized Algeria. But they didn't.
Only the city of Algiers and its surroundings was on paper part of the Ottoman empire but still being effectively independent. The rest of Algeria was controlled by various tribes. That's why the Ottomans didn't give a shit when the US slapped around the Berber states, not when Britain slapped harder and not even when France invaded.
They had a very subversive attitude even back then. Algeria was conquered, then “governed but independent” (while hosting massive amounts of the ottoman military and a de facto hub of Ottoman governance. They technically couldn’t castrate slaves in the empire by their “religious laws” so they used “third parties” to carry out the capture, castration, and transport of slaves.
Back when? Because that obviously wasn't case in the late 1700s, early 1800s. The fact is Algeria was never colonized by the Ottomans. Conquered yes but pretty much only the city of Algiers as subjugating a land full of countless warring tribes is extremely costly. Just look at how long it took France to pacify Algeria and how many people they had to sacrifice. And in the end they failed and flooded France with millions of North Africans because they were retarded enough to treat French Algeria as an actual part of France.
You’re talking 200 years after the Ottoman Empire conquered Algiers in 1516 to begin with. Algeria the region was most definitely conquered the ottomans however never maintained it as a region and only used it as a piracy, trade, and slave hub.
Because they know the Turks would tell them to eat Camel shit.
Or they might return to finish the job.
