siege in 1852

1852 siege of the French conquest of Algeria

The siege of Laghouat was an episode of the French pacification of Algeria. General Aimable Pélissier commanding an army of 6,000, besieged the city of Laghouat from 21 November until 4 December 1852, when the city capitulated. The brutal treatment of the inhabitants was part of the scorched earth tactic of the French army and one of the first instances of recorded use of chemical weapons on civilians.
