		On the outbreak of the revolt of Vendee against the Republic, he was arrested and imprisoned with all his family, as one of the promoters of the rising.
		He was set at liberty by the Royalists, and became one of their leaders, fighting at Thouars, taking Fontenay and Saumur (May - June 1793), and, after an unsuccessful attack on Nantes, joining H. du Verger de la Rochejaquelein, another famous Vendean leader.

	Ethiopia: Power and Protest (Gebru Tareke) - review
		But the revolt ended when the rebels tried to fight a pitched battle at Alage and were bloodily defeated by regular army units backed by British advisors, artillery, and air strikes.
		The revolt in Gojjam in 1968 involved bandits, local nobles, and peasants; it was provoked by extortion by officials and militia, a new income tax law and changes in land measurement, and an arrogant governor who alienated local clergy and gentry.
		Rather than a "vendée" revolt directed solely against change, Tareke sees the Gojjam rebellion as a struggle "in which peasants successfully preserved their partial autonomy by exploiting interclass conflicts at the top".

	The Great French Revoution
		In consequence, a deeply seated hatred was growing in the villages against the towns, and we see indeed that the rising in La Vendee was a war declared by the villages against the towns, especially against the middle classes of the towns.
		But England had no desire to receive such immigrants, and the Bretons, for their part, received them coldly, the more so as the Breton Patriots were gaining the upper hand in the towns and villages; therefore all these starving and ragged people, with their women and children, were driven back towards the Loire.
		Chalier was arrested, and after being tamely defended at Paris by Robespierre and Marat, he was executed on July 16, after which the repression on the part of the middle classes and the royalists became terrible.

	Remembering The Vendee, by Sophie Masson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The fact that the Vendée revolt was a popular one called into question the very nature of the Revolution.
		There was immediate revolt in Vendée, in Brittany, in Normandy, but the centre of the revolt was Vendée itself.
		This was a completely popular uprising; it was the peasants themselves who took the initiative and who only later persuaded some of their native nobles, who had been army officers, to lead some of their armies.

		When Foret and Cathelineau dismounted, and were taken into the house by Henri and the Cure, they left their steeds in the care of Peter Berrier; but Peter has not been left ever since leading them up and down in sight of the white-washed lions.
		Florent had been heard of in the servants’ hall as well as in the salon upstairs, and it was soon known that the heroes of the revolt were in the house, and that their horses were before the door.
		A couple of men and two or three boys soon hurried round, and Peter was relieved from his charge, and courteously led into the servants’ hall by Momont, the grey-headed old butler and favourite servant of the Marquis, and Jacques Chapeau, the valet, groom, and confidential factotum of Larochejaquelin.

		Salt smugglers, who for years before the revolution had grown adept at evading the hated royal salt tax, provided leadership and an intimate knowledge of the countryside.
		One of them, an officer in Charles Armand’s Breton Association [see January 2004], took the non de guerre of Jean Chouan, and gave the Breton revolt its distinctive name of chouannerie.
		The rebels south of the Loire - there known as the Vendee revolt - eventually overreached themselves and were decisively defeated in December 1793.

	Small Wars: Their Principles and Practice (Third Edition) - C. E. Callwell - Product Details - USA :: ttgapers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		For the historian, Small Wars remains a useful and vital analysis of irregular warfare experiences ranging from Hoche’s suppression of the Vendée revolt during the French Revolution, to the British wars against semi-organized armies of Marathas and Sikhs in mid-nineteenth-century India, to the Boer War of 1899–1902.
		The author has clearly stated that all of his examples used to illustrate his principles will be that of properly formed armies versus irregular native troops (the Boers are an exception).
		The author's style is to state principles, followed by a litany of examples to illustrate his point.

		The policy of "de-Cossackization" begun in 1920 corresponds largely to our definition of genocide: a population group firmly established in a particular territory, the Cossacks as such were exterminated, the men shot, the women, children, and the elderly deported, and the villages razed or handed over to new, non-Cossack occupants.
		The best-known form of violence was carried out by revolutionary tribunals, surveillance committees, and the guillotine, accounting for the death of 2,625 people in Paris and 16,600 in the provinces.
		Two such revolts that left a deep imprint on the Russian consciousness were the Stenka Razin revolt of 1667-1670 and the Pugachev rebellion of 1773-1775, which spread quickly and posed a serious threat to the reign of Catherine the Great, leaving a long and bloody scar all across the Volga region.

	The French Revolution
		In 1788 this led to the Aristocratic Revolt, a wave of defiance of "despotism" that compelled the ministers to agree to convene the States-General for the first time since 1614.
		In the spring of 1793, as the military and economic situation deteriorated and a savage royalist rising began in the Vendee region of western France, the Montagnards gained ground.

Initially, Georges Danton tried to placate the provinces, and the democratic Constitution of 1793 was approved by plebiscite and celebrated at a Festival of Unity (August 10).

		But the very term "counter-revolutionary" was invented by the terrorists of the French Revolution to stigmatize their opponents as the latter were being led to the guillotine.
		The peasants of the Vendee were not opposed to the changes of 1789 - the constitutional reforms of the Monarchy, the Declaration of the Rights of Man, the enfranchisement of the Third Estate - but to the revolutionary dictatorship that followed.
		It was the new liberated order, the Republic of Virtue and the Cult of Reason (and the Reign of Terror required to make its citizens reasonable and virtuous) that inspired their resistance and made them counter-revolutionary or conservative.

	Out to Get Religion
		At least in his great book "Citizens," he owns up to the close link between the revolutionaries' program of de-Christianization and the "unconscionable slaughters" of the Terror.
		Writing of the bloody suppression of the Vendee revolt, Schama admits: "The exterminations practiced there were, in fact, the logical outcome of an ideology that progressively dehumanized its adversaries and that had become incapable of seeing any middle ground between total triumph and utter eclipse."
		Sure enough, to achieve such dehumanization, you'd pretty much have to sweep out of the way any dogmatic idea that human life is sacred because God made man in His own image.

		The radicals storming the Bastille led the revolt in France while the Mexican revolt was led by Pancho Villa in the north and Zapata in the south.
		This same group of radicals also instituted the Reign of Terror, a period in which they executed hundreds of people for some very inadequate reasons that were used to justify the execution of public enemies.
		According to Erika Vause, the causes of the Reign of Terror were “the European War, the civil war in the Vendee, the rebellion of certain provinces, hyperinflation, and the numerous factions that existed in Paris” (Vause).

		On Attila's death a revolt by the Goths and their Gepid kin destroyed the Hun domination.
		The great commentator Don Isaac Abarbanel (on Genesis 49;19), after analyzing and weighing all the Biblical verses referring to Gad, came to (the inferred) conclusion that Gad would be numerous and divided into many groups which, nevertheless, would maintain some form of contact and be capable of concerted action.
