We gave a fuckton of food to feed the french warmachine but they refused to pay back the debt and used the piracy as a reason for the "special military operation" even though the piracy benefited them. It all started with napoleon III who was larping as a roman emperor and decided to full conquer algiers to make some fucked up roman frankenstein empire but he failed to understand what made the roman empire work. After he died (he became very hated mind you) because:
"Napoleon III's ambition in Algeria was to establish a unique "Arab Kingdom" with political and economic equality between Europeans and the indigenous populations, a vision influenced by Saint-Simonian advisers like Ismaël Urbain. He sought to uplift the Arab and Berber people rather than subject them to exploitative colonial practices. However, this "Arab dream" faced significant opposition from colonial settlers and collapsed with the fall of his Second Empire, ultimately failing to be realized"
After he died they went sicko mode and started the genocide and fully colonizing. This is just a sloppified quick explaination beware
