![[French Flag] [French Flag]](http://www.worldstatesmen.org/fr.gif)
24 Dec 1902 Algeria is divided into two parts - Algeria proper
and the Southern territories with separate administrations
under the Governor-general of Algeria. The six Southern
territories were consolidated into one unit as the Territoires
du Sud (Southern Territories); On 14 Aug 1905 these are
organized into four territories: Aïn Sefra (Territoire d'Aïn-
Sefra), Ghardaia (Territoire de Ghardaïa), Oases (Territoire des
Oasis), and Touggourt (Territoire de Touggourt). 20 Sep 1947 Algeria defined as "a group of departments endowed with civil
status and financial autonomy," including the Southern Territories, which were considered as departments, for the purposes of the cause, by Article 50 of the law, which also provided for the integration of their budget into that of Algeria from 1 Jan 1948, and their effective departmentalization in the near future. 10 Jan 1957 The four (Saharan) territories are joined in a union called the Common Organization of Saharan Regions (Orgaisation Commune des Régions Sahariennes) administered by the Sahara Ministry of France. 7 Aug 1957 The four southern territories are divided into two départements:
Saoura (Aïn Sefra) and Oasis (Ghardaia, Oasis and Touggourt).
18 Mar 1962 By the Évian Accords France agrees to future Algerian sovereignty
over the region and is allowed to continue to maintain some
military bases in Algeria.
5 Jul 1962 Southern Territories part of independent Algeria.
