Description:
The only thing missing in the "entente cordiale" between France and England, was cordiality. After Bugeaud's victory, anti-French sentiment rose and the muslims tried to reconquer French-held territories. Moorish cavalry attacked the French post of La Moulaiah without declaration of war resulting in further French repressions. The English became increasingly concerned by the growing French influence in Algeria. They were quite nervous about the risk that France would control all of Morocco and Algeria and thus the Southern side of the Streight of Gibraltar. The treaty of 18 September 1844 of Tangiers, eventually guaranteed the integrity of Morocco, provided Muley disbanded his army and expelled the Algerian Emir Abd-El-Kader. Muley-Abderrahman(1778-1859) was the Sultan of Morocco, son of Muley-Soleiman. He was defeated at the battle of L’Isly by the French General Bugeaud on 14 August 1844.
