Cela faisait un excellent m\u00e9chant. C&rsquo;\u00e9tait aussi, selon les historiens modernes, en grande partie faux \u2014 ou du moins \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 vrai. Ranavalona I est l&rsquo;une des souveraines les plus mal jug\u00e9es de l&rsquo;histoire, et la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 est plus d\u00e9rangeante, et plus int\u00e9ressante, que la caricature.<\/p>\n<h2>La reine qui ne devait pas r\u00e9gner<\/h2>\n<p>Ranavalona acc\u00e9da au pouvoir en <strong>1828<\/strong> contre toute attente. \u00c0 la mort de son \u00e9poux, le roi Radama I, sans h\u00e9ritier direct, la coutume favorisait son neveu \u2014 mais des officiers de l&rsquo;arm\u00e9e soutinrent sa revendication, et elle prit le tr\u00f4ne, r\u00e9gnant jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 sa mort en <strong>1861<\/strong>. D\u00e8s le d\u00e9part, elle gouverna en souveraine d\u00e9termin\u00e9e \u00e0 tenir bon face \u00e0 un monde qui voulait avaler son royaume.<\/p>\n<h2>Les charges contre elle sont r\u00e9elles<\/h2>\n<p>Il serait malhonn\u00eate d&rsquo;adoucir le bilan. Le r\u00e8gne de Ranavalona fut r\u00e9ellement dur. Elle fit de la pratique du christianisme par ses sujets un <strong>crime capital<\/strong> en 1835 et pers\u00e9cuta les convertis ; elle s&rsquo;appuya sur le redout\u00e9 <strong>tangena<\/strong> \u2014 une ordalie par le poison qui tua un nombre effroyable de personnes, par milliers chaque ann\u00e9e selon certaines estimations ; et elle imposa un <strong>travail forc\u00e9<\/strong> (<em>fanompoana<\/em>) brutal et mena des guerres co\u00fbteuses. Selon plusieurs estimations, la population du royaume chuta fortement durant son long r\u00e8gne. La souffrance fut r\u00e9elle, et aucune r\u00e9\u00e9valuation ne l&rsquo;efface.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi les historiens d\u00e9fendent une partie de son histoire<\/h2>\n<p>Et pourtant. Regardez ce qu&rsquo;elle faisait, et quand. Tout au long du XIXe si\u00e8cle, la Grande-Bretagne et la France se partageaient \u00eele apr\u00e8s \u00eele, nation apr\u00e8s nation. Ranavalona <strong>annula un trait\u00e9 britannique, chassa l&rsquo;influence \u00e9trang\u00e8re, pr\u00f4na l&rsquo;autosuffisance et maintint Madagascar ind\u00e9pendant<\/strong> pendant des d\u00e9cennies tandis que ses voisins tombaient sous l&#8217;empire. Depuis les ann\u00e9es 1970, les historiens la red\u00e9finissent non en folle mais en <strong>nationaliste<\/strong> pr\u00e9coce \u2014 une souveraine faisant des choix calcul\u00e9s, quoique impitoyables, pour prot\u00e9ger la souverainet\u00e9 de son pays de la colonisation. La \u00ab folie \u00bb fut, en partie, un r\u00e9cit colonial racont\u00e9 sur une dirigeante qui refusait de se soumettre.<\/p>\n<h2>Une m\u00e9moire divis\u00e9e<\/h2>\n<p>Les regards malgaches sur elle restent compliqu\u00e9s. Beaucoup, marqu\u00e9s par les pers\u00e9cutions chr\u00e9tiennes et le tangena, la condamnent ; d&rsquo;autres l&rsquo;honorent comme la reine qui garda l&rsquo;\u00eele libre. La plupart la tiennent pour une figure v\u00e9ritablement formidable \u2014 forte, intransigeante, impossible \u00e0 r\u00e9duire \u00e0 une caricature. Elle r\u00e9gna depuis le grand palais de <a href=\"https:\/\/voyagiste-madagascar.com\/manjakamiadana-queens-palace-rova-antananarivo\/\">Manjakamiadana<\/a>, qu&rsquo;elle agrandit, et fut enterr\u00e9e avec 12 000 z\u00e9bus sacrifi\u00e9s en son honneur.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>Ranavalona I est une le\u00e7on sur qui \u00e9crit l&rsquo;histoire. Le voyageur qui la comprend voit le Rova, et tout le XIXe si\u00e8cle malgache, avec des yeux plus clairs.
