==== Coup of Baba Ali Chaouche, and independence ====
[[Baba Ali Chaouche]], also written as Chaouch, took over the country, ending the rule of the Janissaries. The Pasha attempted to resist him, but instead he was sent home, and told to never come back, and if he did he will be executed. He also sent a letter to the Ottoman sultan declaring that Algiers will from then on act as an independent state, and will not be an Ottoman vassal, but an ally at best.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rWIJAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA2 |title=Biographie universelle, ancienne et moderne |date=1834 |language=fr}}</ref> The [[Sublime Porte]], enraged, tried to send another Pasha to Algiers, whom was then sent back to Constantinople by the Algerians. This marked the ''[[de facto]]'' independence of Algiers from the Ottoman Empire.{{sfn|Kaddache|2011|p=432}}
