1904–1905 uprising in Madagascar

The 1904–1905 uprising in Madagascar was an uprising in Southeastern regions Madagascar of Atsimo Atsinanana and Anosy that lasted from 17 November 1904 to 30 August 1905. Its causes laid in French disregard for Malagasy culture, executions without trial by French administrators, heavy taxation, and forced labour.

Malagasy Protestants tended to support the uprising, while Malagasy Catholics tended to oppose it. For this reason, a large amount of Catholic churches were burned down by the rebels.
