Battle of Tit

1902 · 20th century

The Battle of Tit was fought in May 1902 near the village of Tit in the Ahaggar region of southern Algeria. A French force of camel-mounted Saharan auxiliaries defeated the Kel Ahaggar Tuareg, inflicting heavy losses. The defeat broke Tuareg resistance in the Ahaggar, and the amenokal Moussa ag Amastan accepted French rule soon afterwards.
