The Ottomans, Barbary and Moors, did night time raids on Britain and Europe, kidnapped over a million Europeans, took them to Africa to be sold into the slave trade. This is probably one of the reasons why the British fought to abolish slavery.

@Gamesohtha Rubbish. Brits could have ended the white slave trade and continued the black save trade but they sought to abolish it worldwide. The African slave traders who enslaved and sold their own people were enraged. West African kingdoms such as Mali and Ghana grew very rich from selling their own people into slavery. The Arabs had been buying slaves from Africans for 1,400 years! The Atlantic slave trade only just over 300 years Arabs took the most slaves and still have slaves today.

@34EDW3WRSR The French colonized Algeria for various reasons. One of the primary reasons was to expand their empire and gain more territory. The French also wanted to establish a foothold in North Africa to protect their trade interests in the region. Algiers, was effectively under the control of local Berber and Arab leaders, who usually acted as vassals to Dey. To expand their empire they needed to rid Algiers of the Arab/Berbers. France saw in the territory a vast supply of raw materials for its nascent industry and presaging a process of accumulative expansion.
