Abstract

The "Al'aelaj" formed an important social class in Algerian society during the Ottoman era. Among them was "Euldj Ali," who unified Algeria, organized its administration, army and developed its navy. He also governed Tlemcen in 1557 AD, Tripoli in the West in 1565 AD, and Algiers in 1568 AD. He confronted the Christians with the Djerba campaign in 1560 AD and the siege of Malta in 1561 AD and helped the Muslims of Andalusia in February 1568 AD and October 1571 AD. He conquered Tunisia permanently in 1574 AD. He supported the Ottoman Empire with the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 AD. He tried to conquer Morocco also. With his death, the Beylerbey system, which made its rulers true kings with extensive power, ended in Algeria and was replaced by the "pashas" system. The Ottoman fleet began to lose its strength and position. Thus, the path of a Christian boy turned into a Muslim man, a sailor with high qualifications that qualified him to assume high leadership positions in Algeria.
