Season 4 Episode 12: The Crisis of the 18th Century part 2: The Merina Civil War

<p>After Andriamasinavalona&apos;s passing, his sons&apos; feud will blossom into a 70-year long civil war. Communities will tear each other apart, slave raiding will reach new heights, and famine will re-emerge as a new threat.  Meanwhile, Merina rulers will engage in some experimental policies, like the minting of the region&apos;s first local coins, but mostly just kill each other.</p><a rel="payment" href="https://patreon.com/historyofafrica">Support the show</a>
