Malagasy Uprising

In this episode we're in Madagascar, one of Africa’s island countries and the fourth largest island in the world. We explore the Malagasy Uprising which took place between 1947-1948. The uprising saw thousands of Malagasy people fight the French to regain ownership of their country. The French government had suspicions that the uprising wasn’t just caused by Malagasy groups, but also their European rivals: Britain and America. Following the uprising, France soon regained control of the country, as they were adamant that "the future of Madagascar would be inseparably linked to France's future."
