  13. Thousands of Muslims fled the French conquest of Algeria in 1830 and resettled in Ottoman
    lands, including Damascus, where they worked as merchants and became Ottoman subjects. By
    the 1840s, with the expansion of France’s consular system into Damascus, some started claiming
    French subjecthood to take advantage of the extraterritorial privileges it brought, including consular
    protection in making the pilgrimage to Mecca. See Pierre Bardin, Algériens et tunisiens dans l’empire
    ottoman de 1848 à 1914 (Paris: Éditions du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 1979). See
