The Grande Mosquée de Paris was built between 1922 and 1926 and officially inaugurated in 1926.

Its construction was commissioned by the French government to honor the approximately 100,000 Muslim soldiers from French colonies who died fighting for France during World War I. At the time, it became one of the first major Islamic monuments built in modern Western Europe.
