Crémieux Decree
The Crémieux Decree was a decree issued by the French Government of National Defence on 24 October 1870, named after the justice minister Adolphe Crémieux. It granted French citizenship to the Jews of Algeria, while Muslim Algerians remained subjects without full citizenship, a distinction that deepened divisions in the colony. The Vichy regime revoked it in 1940, and it was restored in 1943.
