Frankly, I do not understand why this particular event has been added to the article. To me the two events have almost nothing in common - not geography or politics or tribal units or whatever - other than both took place in completely unrelated European colonies. One took place in Madagascar in 1674 (when it was a French colony) and one took place in North America in Virginia in 1622 (when it was an English colony) but let's discuss and come to a editorial consensus.

I put some change on the article just to let people know a simillar case of massacre of colonists happening to other place than America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gasybeaugosse2020 (talkcontribs) 09:19, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gasybeaugosse2020 But the incidents themselves are completely unconnected. Are there other massacres of colonists that happened in Madagascar? Were there uprisings by the native peoples of Madagascar against the French? Were there other massacres/incidents/battles/etc against the French by peoples related to Malagasy natives? I think articles on those subjects would be a better match for a 'See also'. I see your point but I still disagree. Shearonink (talk) 21:43, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
These are simillar events but the geographical location makes the difference. Gasybeaugosse2020 (talk) 06:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
