Which French action followed the 1827 incident in which the Dey struck the consul with a fly whisk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A landing at Sidi Ferruch in June 1830 and the capture of Algiers in July
- Step 1: France blockaded Algiers, then landed an army in June 1830 and forced the Dey's surrender. Step 2. Compare each option with this fact and discard those that conflict with it. Answer: A landing at Sidi Ferruch in June 1830 and the capture of Algiers in July. Why not the others: The joint bombardment was in 1816, the Tafna treaty was with Abdelkader and no purchase took place.
