french investments to crush the resistance were massive. by 1839 they had concentrated some 70,000 men in algeria. by 1844, a third of the french army was fighting in algeria – some 108,000 troops – a stark and extraordinary contrast to the typically small european or european-led forces that conquered most of africa. french tactics changed to counter the swift guerrilla attacks of the native resistance. heavy formations were broken down into mobile columns, and a ruthless "scorched earth" policy of devastation, plunder and destruction was enacted- seeking to break the native resistance by destruction of its resource base. wells were poisoned, livestock shot, fields, houses and villages burned, and inhabitants driven into the countryside or exterminated. the ruinous devastation of the countryside severely hurt the emir's war-making efforts, as did the seizure of his strongholds by the mobile columns. by 1844, el-kader was forced to withdraw from algeria to morocco. subsequent developments saw his capture and imprisonment by the french, who confiscated massive quantities of native land for settlement of french "colons" or settlers. this set the stage for an equally bloody resistance war, a century later.
