Authors : Boukazoula Abdelmalek . Hreouz Abdelghani .

Abstract

The article examines the political, economic, social, religious, and cultural conditions in Algeria from 1900 to 1927, a period marked by significant transformations under French colonial rule. Politically, France implemented policies aimed at assimilating Algeria, issuing laws like the 1865 Senatus Consult, which offered French citizenship to Algerians at the cost of renouncing Islamic personal status, and the 1881 Native Code, which imposed harsh restrictions on Muslims. Resistance emerged through movements like the Algerian Youth Movement, led by figures such as Prince Khaled, who demanded political reforms and equality.
