Counterrevolution

A look at the history in pictures of the epic French counterrevolution when royalist forces in the Vendee, Brittany, Maine and other areas rose up for God and King against the wicked forces of the revolution. They were ultimately unsuccessful and the republicans carried out a campaign of genocide throughout the region. However, Vendee uprisings played a key part in French history for a long time. It has been argued that Napoleon might not have been defeated at Waterloo had he not been forced to dispatch troops to put down another royalist rebellion in the Vendee. As late as the 1830's the region of western France was still fighting for the restoration of the true Kings of France.
