Product: 1:72 Beau Geste: Algerian Tuareg revolt
The French conquest of Algeria took place between 1830 and 1847. The
French colonial policy of the XIX century was based on a progressive
expansion in the North African and Sub-Saharan territories. At the end
of the nineteenth century the Tuaregs opposed a fierce resistance to the
French troops for the defense of their Central Saharan homeland. A lot
of violent military clashes between the French Foreign Legion troops and
the Tuareg Berber troops took place especially in the most remote areas
of the Algerian territories were several outposts and forts were built
by the French. However, the local populations could not compete against
the more advanced weapons of French Army. The fighting ended with the
signatures of the 1905 and 1917 treaties. The Historical events inspired
a lot of novels and movies. The most famous movie could be considered
"Beau Gest" of 1939 based on the 1924 novel of the same title by P.C. Wren.
