The Crémieux Decree

Picture
Adolphe Crémieux (1796-1880) was a French-Jewish  stateman, who became famous in 1870 by securing full French citizenship for the  Jews in French ruled Algéria.


The decree allowed for European  residents in Algeria  and its native Sephardi Jewish community to become French citizens while MuslimArabs and Berberswere excluded and remained under the second-class "indigenous" status.
This gave France another 35 000 allies, an important number considering the small number of French immigration to Algeria at the time.
