A/ Comprehension : Read the text carefully and do the activities below.
Phoenician merchants, who arrived in the North African coast in 900 BC , founded Carthage in what
is present-day Tunisia. During the classical era, Berber civilization was at a point in which trade,
manufacturing, agriculture, and political organization supported a number of states. 
The Carthaginians were able to expand and establish small villages along the North African coast. In
the early 4th century BC, the Berbers made up the single largest component of the Carthaginian army and
they rebelled from 241 to 238 BC. The Berbers soldiers were able to obtain control of most of Carthage’s
territory in North Africa. The Carthaginian state collapsed as a result of consecutive defeats by the Romans
in the Punic Wars and Carthage city was finally destroyed in 146 BC.
As Carthaginian power diminished, the influence of the Berbers leaders grew. By the 2nd century
BC, a number of big but slackly governed Berber kingdoms had been formed. Two of the kingdoms were
founded in Numidia, behind the coastal regions governed by Carthage.  West of Numidia was Mauretania,
which extended across the Moulouya River in present-day Morocco to the Atlantic Ocean. The high point of
Berber civilization was unmatched until the arrival of the Almoravids and Almohads more than a
millennium later and was reached during the reign of Massinissa in the 2nd century BC.

Ancient Algeria has had many dynasties and empires such as the ancient Numidians, Romans,
Phoenicians, Vandals, Carthaginians, Byzantines, Abbasids, Umayyads, Idridis, Rustamis, Aghlabid, Ziris,
Fatimids, Hammadids, Almohads, Ottomans, Almoravids, and the French colonial empire. The Berbers are,
however, considered to be the aboriginal occupants of Algeria. Due to the Arab conquest of North Africa, most
local dwellers were Arabised, thus, although the majority of Algerians are Berber in origin, most of them identify
with Arab identity.

The Ottomans partially ruled over Algeria for three decades from 1516 to 1830. Under the regency of
Khair ad Din, Algiers became the heart of Ottoman rule in the country. Algeria was a province of the Ottoman
Empire and a normal Ottoman administration was formed and governors referred to as pasha governed the
different regions. The formal language was Turkish and Berbers and Arabs were not given any government
posts. Algiers remained a section of the Ottoman Empire but the Ottoman government ceased having any
effectual influence there.
In 1815, Algiers found itself at war with Naples, Spain, Russia, Denmark, Prussia, and the Netherlands
due to piracy. Algeria and the neighbouring regions, collectively referred to as the Barbary States were
responsible for piracy in the Mediterranean Sea and also the enslavement of Christians. These actions landed
them into the First and Second Barbary War with the United States of America.
