 The new General tried to increase the number of applications approved for French citizenship
but it was still very low, and far short of the demonstrators demand for mass naturalisation.Ralaimongo and Joseph Ravoahangy were placed under house arrest in 1930, and not given an amnesty until 1936.Ralaimongo died in 1944 and it was only at the end of the second world war that the French Government allowed some form of democracy.
