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]
