| Summary: | This research deals with the issue of the Ottoman intervention in Algeria, as well as its dimensions and background during the first quarter of the 16th century. The study of this subject is based on a number of Ottoman documents as well as on sources who lived through that historical period and has been conducted in order to understand the reality of this intervention, its dimensions, and background. This research also seeks to reveal the falsehood of what some historians have said about the Ottoman intervention in Algeria being a colonial intervention based on seizing its wealth and property. The memoirs of Khair al-Din Barbaros along with the Ottoman documents are some of the most important historical sources and testimonies that were able to dispute the negative image some historical studies on Ottoman piracy had presented. Meanwhile, Khair al-Din presented another picture of piracy by listing the meanings of maritime jihad, charitable work, and helping the oppressed poor, as well as one of the strategies for confronting the Spanish-led European Crusade project. |
