The Bombardment of Algiers, (painting by George Chambers Sr.) This was an attempt by 🇬🇧 Britain and the 🇳🇱 Netherlands to end the slavery practices of ☪️ Omar Agha, the Dey of Algiers. An Anglo-Dutch fleet under the command of Admiral Lord Exmouth bombarded ships and harbour defences of Algiers in 1816.
There was a continuing campaign by the European and American navies to suppress the Barbary pirates. The aim of this expedition, however, was to free Christian slaves and stop the enslavement of Europeans. Following this bombardment the Dey of Algiers freed around 3,000 slaves and signed a treaty against the slavery of Europeans. However, this practice did not end completely until the French conquest of Algeria.
