Has the Vendée rebellion against the First French Republic had a lasting impact on the region and its identity?

While the rebellion and its consequences had a sizeable impact on the region at the time, is it still considered a major part of the identity of people living there? Has it been largely ignored in the generations since? Do the consequences of the revolt have any impact on the region (or France as a whole) today?

Fic idea: Naruto and sasuke removes the ability to use chakra from everyone after the war when everyone's still trapped in the eternal tsukoyomi

I would point this first and foremost , Naruto isn't the same dumbfuck as he was in canon , sasuke alleges that removing chakra from every active ninja and in the process killing them would atleast make the next-gen have some semblance of peace Naruto doesn't consent to genocide , they agree on suppressing everyone's chakra with the juubi's power suppressed to such an extent that no one can even feel chakra anymore , basic seals that use chakra can't be even triggered anymore , Naruto and sasuke become hated , the economy collapses , thousands of ninja trained till that point are jobless , no better than common bandits and mercenaries , the bijuu made themselves obscure , Naruto and sasuke were hated but everyone else is power less to do anything , knowledge of jutsu and libraries are burned down , you can then make leave Naruto and sasuke to be. Hoping that the world will pull itself together and become civilised or form a secret organization [ insert indoctrination cult] who make sure that chakra won't be discovered again by mankind these guys are given the ability to use chakra to a limited extent more powerful than the common mercenary but nowhere near as powerful as the ninja's of old were , can be an interesting fic following the political fallout and Naruto and to a limited extent sasuke having to deal with being hated by everyone ( they don't go back to konoha obv.) , The economic collapse , the start of Naruto/sasuke's org. (Cult) , people overthrowing daimyo's before in the absence of the ninja they can become too powerfull. I have a lot of ideas about this will help if anyone can make this into a fic. edit :

Can I make this a writing prompt instead ? Anyone can use it I just want to read a fic like this.

I AM Rona Simmons, author of The Other Veterans of WWII. The war in a nutshell seen from a new angle: that of a special group of veterans you likely never knew existed. AMA

Hello! I am the author of a new book about WWII. No, not “just another WWII book,” a book about the war from a new point of view—that of noncombat veterans. If you’ve thought about them at all, you might have heard them referred to as grease monkeys or pencil pushers. That would be wrong. Did you know they represented more than half of all veterans who served in that war? Did you know we won the war as much because of their service and sacrifice behind the front lines as those who fought on the battlefields. The Book

The Trailer

An Excerpt (scroll down to the podcast on my website

Indulge me. AMA and, like the veterans in my book who say they did the best they could 75 years ago. I’ll do my best to answer your questions today beginning at 11:00 am EDT.

Instagram Proof My Home on the Internet

AMA

  • Ask me what it’s like to have Winston Groom extoll the praises of your book
  • Ask me what it’s like to be invited to lecture at the New Orleans WWII Museum
  • Ask me how different writing nonfiction is from fiction (yes, I’ve done both)
  • Ask me how I promote my book 24x7 (yes, that’s all I do all day long)
  • Ask me how I reschedule all the promotions I set up before the corona virus struck 24x7, wait, don’t ask me that. It’s too painful

It's now 1:30 pm EDT. Thank you everyone for attending this IAMA session today. I am gratified to hear of your interest in this topic and hope that you will someday read the book. There's so much more there than I can ever tell here. Stay safe and keep reading!
