Algerian-Sharifian conflicts

The conflicts between the regency of Algiers and the Cherifian dynasties or Algerio-Sharifian conflicts [1] were a series of wars between on the one hand the regency of Algiers (and its allies) and the Cherifian dynasties : Saadians and Alaouites reigning in Morocco since the 16th century.

The origins of these conflicts were multiple and overlapping. The state establishment of the regency of Algiers in the central Maghreb around Algiers as a prominent new political center and its integration into the Ottoman Empire was at the expense of Zianids of Tlemcen to the west. The latter, in recurrent conflicts with the regency on the one hand and the Spanish on the other, ended up seeing their domain integrated into the regency. Their weakening stirred up the Saadian lusts and their claim on the west of Algeria.

Although the regency of Algiers confirmed its control over Tlemcen and Oran, it did not have the means to launch long campaigns in the Sahara, which it delegated to various tribal confederations such as the Ouled Sidi Cheikh. The Saadians, blocked to the north by the Spanish Empire and the Regency of Algiers, then found South Saharan outlet for the extension of their empire.

These conflicts and the resulting agreements foreshadow the borders and delimitations between the modern nation-states of the Maghreb.[2][3]
