Kabyle fighters defended the position at Icheriden against a French assault during the 1857 campaign. The battle was intense and costly; the French military account gives the conquerors' perspective, while the event also marks a collective defence of Kabyle autonomy and land. After the battle, French forces pressed further into the region. The entry uses the date of the main assault and does not adopt celebratory language of “pacification.”
