Bombardment of Algiers (1683)

1683 bombardment

The bombardment of Algiers in 1683 was a French naval operation against the Regency of Algiers during the Franco–Algerian war (1681–1688). It led to the rescue of more than 100 French prisoners, in some cases after decades of captivity, but the great majority of Christian captives in Algiers were not liberated.
