Menalamba rebellion

The Menalamba rebellion was an uprising in Madagascar by the Sakalava people[1] that emerged in central Madagascar in response to the French capture of the royal palace in the capital city of Antananarivo in September 1895.[2] it spread rapidly in 1896, threatening the capital, but French forces were successful in securing the surrender of many rebel groups in 1897. Elements of the rebellion continued sporadically until 1903.[1]
