The Minister of Algerian Affairs (French: Ministre d’État aux Affaires Algériennes) or Minister of Algeria (French: Ministre de l'Algérie) was a ministerial post in the Government of France from its creation in 1858 until Algerian independence in 1962. The Ministry was created to supervise administration of French Algeria through a military governor general assisted by a civil minister. Previously, the governor general alone wielded civil and military jurisdiction.[1] Notably, the Ministry was empowered to implement the Constantine Plan to economically and socially develop Algeria in preparation for their independence.[2]
