The French maintained control over Algeria through a combination of military force, colonization, and administrative policies. They established a settler colonial system, encouraging French citizens to move to Algeria, which led to significant demographic changes. The French government implemented oppressive laws and military campaigns to suppress resistance and enforce their authority, while also promoting economic exploitation of the region's resources. This approach fostered deep social and political divisions, ultimately leading to widespread discontent and the Algerian War of Independence.
The question comes from the perception that Algeria is something distinct from mainland France. This is not the view that the French had; they saw Algeria as being an intrinsic part of France across the waves, in much the same way that Americans see Hawaii or Spaniards see the Canary Islands. We can compare Algeria, which had 7 départments and full integration with France, to Morocco or Tunisia which were French Protectorates and were not integrated into the French State. As a result, controlling Algeria was for the purpose of maintaining the unity of the French Republic. At the time of the Algerian War, there were over 1 million Pied-Noirs (Non-Muslim French citizens in Algeria), one of the largest French populations outside of Europe.
It hasn't. They are two different places.
None. no i'm just kidding Algeria was taken over in 1830. Morocco early 20th century. Tunisia 1881.In 1879, France established control over Algeria.
Morocco had a strategic location on the Atlantic seaboard and also gave the French additional protection for Algeria.

Algeria was colonized by France in 1830, marking the beginning of a lengthy period of French rule that lasted until 1962. During this time, Algeria was considered an integral part of France, leading to significant cultural and political changes. The country fought a brutal war of independence from 1954 to 1962, ultimately achieving sovereignty and ending French colonial rule. Before French colonization, Algeria was part of the Ottoman Empire for several centuries.
Both the French and British colonist wanted control over the fur trade. The result of the fight was the French and Indian War.
European Imperialism qualifies as such.

There wasn't such thing as getting "more" control over the french colonies. The basic idea was that these new territory would be France from now on.For instance, french Algeria was considered part of France as any other département of France.That is why the breaking up with french colonies was so violent.The UK fought for its colonies too, but not so long.
Britain and Italy are the biggest ones, I beleive.
