À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Vendée uprising of 1793—a bloody counter-revolutionary revolt in western France that pitted peasants and nobles against the Republic. They trace the roots of the conflict: the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, the conscription levy of 300,000 men, and the brutal repression that followed. Listeners will meet figures like François Charette and Henri de La Rochejaquelein, hear about the infernal columns of General Turreau, and learn about the guerrilla tactics and massacres that foreshadowed modern civil wars. The conversation also touches on the controversy over whether the Republic’s actions constituted genocide, and how the memory of the Vendée still haunts French politics today. This is a story of faith, local loyalty, and the dark side of revolutionary idealism.
