Today I'm going to tell you the story of one of the greatest rebellions against French colonization. It took place in 1947 in Madagascar.
It left between 11,000 and 100,000 dead, yet no one talks about it. It must be said that it's not a straightforward story where you can identify good guys and bad guys. It's a very complex story filled with betrayals, paradoxes, and doubts. So I decided to do a little research.

ERRATUM: Queen Ranavalona I died in August 1861, not 1961!
