The [[French rule in Algeria|conquest of Algeria]], initiated in the last days of the Bourbon Restoration, was now confronted by {{lang|ar-Latn|[[Abd al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri|Abd-el-Kader]]|italic=no}}'s raids, punishing [[Marshal Valée|Marshal {{lang|fr|Valée|italic=no|nocat=y}}]] and the {{lang|fr|duc d'Orléans|italic=no}}'s expedition to the {{lang|fr|[[Portes de Fer]]}} in autumn 1839, which had violated the terms of the 1837 [[Treaty of Tafna]] between [[General Bugeaud|General {{lang|fr|Bugeaud|italic=no|nocat=y}}]] and {{lang|ar-Latn|Abd-el-Kader|italic=no}}. {{lang|fr|Thiers|italic=no}} pushed in favor of colonizing of the interior of the country, up to the edges of the desert. He convinced the king, who saw in Algeria an ideal theater for his son to cover the House of {{lang|fr|Orléans|italic=no}} with glory, and persuaded him to send General {{lang|fr|Bugeaud|italic=no}} as first [[governor general of Algeria]]. {{lang|fr|Bugeaud|italic=no}}, who would lead harsh repression against the natives, was officially nominated on 29 December 1840, a few days after {{lang|fr|Thiers|italic=no}}'s fall.
