The Treaty of Tangier ( French: Traité de Tanger, Arabic: معاهدة طنجة) was signed in Tangier on 10 September 1844, [1] whereby the Franco-Moroccan War was ended and Morocco officially recognised Algeria as a French possession.
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]
