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.

History

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]
