With a POD no earlier than 1800, make Algeria experience a Meiji Reformation and avoid colonization by any European power.
Snip

Frankly, a French expedition was more or less bound to happen at this point, following the Spanish exemple, but also because of the many tensions between the Regency and France.Very interesting insight. Had Hussein Bey, not angered the French, could a French protectorate be set up in the region and through that, Algeria is modernized to the point where sometime before 1930, they manage to gain independence from France?
The problem is that it was one of the main sources of ressources for the Regency, the other being grain trade. As the piracy declined in the XVIIIth, so did the whole Maghrib. And then you have the problem with most of social classes (regardless social-cultural, social-economical or social-political) : it's really hard for them to deny themselves.A requirement is to stop piracy at any cost. Preferably at latest in the late 18th century.
I know about the grain but not about the execution. That is interesting
Giving that Japan is still not seen as a western state...or Turkey...or Morocco...If even that is unlikely, what is the latest POD that could end up with Algeria seen as a western state.
My suspicions of this being improbable turn out to be correct. Could a great figure turn the tides though? Maybe a charismatic soldier rises to the top and keeps Algeria as a country. If even that is unlikely, what is the latest POD that could end up with Algeria seen as a western state.
Meant to say First WorldGiving that Japan is still not seen as a western state...or Turkey...or Morocco...
...647?
The first half of the XIIth century, at very very best?
Don't you mean Charles X?What if King Louis-Phillipe is deposed before 1830? How much time does Algeria have?
If we remove the limit of the POD being post 1800, what would be the latest POD for a First World Algeria? Would we have to go back to even before the regency or just a hundred years or so?
