While previous episodes explored the political machinations of the Merina monarchy and the fierce resistance against French colonial rule, this episode turns to a catastrophic event that reshaped the island’s demographic landscape: the Great Famine of 1879–1883. We examine how Queen Ranavalona II’s aggressive push for rice monoculture, combined with the introduction of the brown planthopper pest and severe drought conditions, led to widespread starvation in the central highlands. Lucas and Luna discuss the social breakdown, the collapse of traditional safety nets, and the desperate migration from Imerina to the coast. This narrative reveals how an agricultural policy intended to strengthen the kingdom instead weakened its population right before the final French conquest, offering a poignant look at the intersection of climate, policy, and survival in late nineteenth-century Madagascar. #GreatFamine #MadagascarHistory #RanavalonaII #Imerina #MerinaKingdom #AgriculturalPolicy #RiceMonoculture #BrownPlanthopper #MalagasyCulture #ColonialMadagascar #EastAfricaHistory #DemographicCollapse #FoodSecurity #19thCenturyHistory #ClimateHistory #Pestilence #SocialUnrest #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
