The Red Shawl Rebellion

The french didn't realize how big this was and how dangerous it was. Members of ranivolona's court were accused of encouraging the rebels. The capital was blockaded by the rebels and was under siege through the summer of 18 96. This resistance led the government of france to send out a new trouble shooter, general joseph gallieni. And they also decided to exile the queen to reunion. She apparently died in 19 17 in algiers.
