Algerian-Sharifian conflicts

The conflicts between the regency of Algiers and the Cherifian dynasties or Algerio-Sharifian conflicts are, a series of wars between on the one hand the regency of Algiers (and its allies) and the Cherifian dynasties : Saadians and Alaouites reigning on Morocco since XVI century.

The origins of these conflicts are multiple and overlapping. The state establishment enterprise of the regency of Algiers in Central Maghreb around Algiers as a new prominent political center and its integration into the Ottoman Empire was at the expense of Zianids of Tlemcen to the west. The latter in recurrent conflicts at the beginning of with the regency on the one hand and the Spanish on the other hand end up seeing their domain integrated into the regency. Their weakening stirs up the Saadian lusts and their claim on the west of Algeria.

If the regency of Algiers confirms its control over Tlemcen and Oranie it does not have the means to launch long campaigns in the Saharan confines which it delegates to various tribal confederations such as the Ouled Sidi Cheikh. The Saadians blocked to the north by the Spanish Empire and the Regency of Algiers then found an outlet South Saharan for the extension of their Empire.

These conflicts and the resulting agreements foreshadow the borders and delimitations between the modern nation-states of the Maghreb.
