Trivia In the film, District 11's riot during the 74th Hunger Games was the first known uprising following the Dark Days, rather then District 8. Categories Battles. Universal Conquest Wiki. Shortly after the force field was destroyed, Capitol aircraft launched a massive fire bombing raid on District 12 , Everdeen's home district, burning it to the ground.
Only about of District 12's original 8, survived the raid. Gale Hawthorne was credited with helping most of the refugees escape into the woods around District After the attack, hovercraft from District 13 appeared and began evacuating the refugees back to 13, where they were granted citizenship and given places to live that far exceeded their poverty-stricken conditions in Simultaneously, uprisings began in a poorly-coordinated mass offensive in Districts 7 , 10 , and 11 , which were responded to harshly by the Capitol.
The exact details of these uprisings are unclear due to communication disruptions, but it is known that rebel forces operating in District 11 were able to seize control of local transportation networks in the opening phase of the fighting.
Tactical, operational, and strategic details of the war from this point until the Battle of the Capitol are mostly unavailable, but the fighting was largely marked by indiscriminate surface-based and aerial artillery bombardments, as well as a confused mixture of asymmetrical and conventional ground warfare that resulted in widespread destruction of infrastructure throughout the country.
Mellark and Everdeen were both made to star in propaganda videos, referred to by both sides' media as propos , for the side they had been taken by. There was a stark contrast notable in the videos—Mellark's called for a general cessation of hostilities and return to normalcy, while Everdeen's told the populace to defy the Capitol and rally to the rebels to fight.
When Everdeen was taken from the arena, many rebel divisions were struggling to maintain footholds in several districts. However, after one particular propo in which Everdeen stood in front of the wreckage of a destroyed field hospital in District 8 after a Capitol bombing and announced "if we burn, you burn with us," the rebels' morale was re-energized.
A vast counteroffensive sentiment was subsequently launched against the loyalists, relieving strategic. After the airing of Everdeen's propaganda video in District 8, President Snow and Mellark held a Capitol video of their own.
Near the end, Mellark accidentally leaked information regarding a surprise Capitol missile and bombing attack against District Thereafter, Capitol torturers deployed a psychological technique against Mellark known as hijacking. Multiple "bunker missiles" were launched against the underground infrastructure of District 13, causing the District to sustain significant infrastructural damage.
However, due to the timely warning, casualties were reduced to a minimum, if any at all. During a video after the bomb raid, Everdeen suffered a mental meltdown due to learning that any actions by her caused pain to Mellark.
Tactical details of the raid, like much of the war, are unclear, but it is known that they involved the deployment of anesthetic gases, power failures, and the detonation of an explosive in a government building as diversions during the operation. Chaotic ground fighting and bomber strikes hallmarked much of the war.
After several months of fighting, every district was under rebel control with the exception of District 2 , which was the supplier of most of Panem's military force and also served as the loyalists' primary base of operations. The primary command center for the Capitol's military forces, located in Two, was located inside a hollowed-out mountain known to the rebels as "the Nut" after Plutarch Heavensbee 's comment on the district; "it's a tough nut to crack.
Eating lunch, sitting next to each other at assemblies, partnering for sports activities. We rarely talk, which suits us both just fine. Today her drab school outfit has been replaced by an expensive white dress, and her blonde hair is done up with a pink ribbon.
Reaping clothes. It is a pretty dress, but she would never be wearing it ordinarily. She presses her lips together and then smiles. Does she mean it? Or is she messing with him? His eyes land on a small, circular pin that adorns her dress. Real gold. Beautifully crafted. It could keep a family in bread for months.
Five entries? I had six when I was just twelve years old. She puts the money for the berries in my hand. We walk toward the Seam in silence. The reaping system is unfair, with the poor getting the worst of it. You become eligible for the reaping the day you turn twelve. That year, your name is entered once. At thirteen, twice. And so on and so on until you reach the age of eighteen, the final year of eligibility, when your name goes into the pool seven times. Say you are poor and starving as we were.
You can opt to add your name more times in exchange for tesserae. You may do this for each of your family members as well. So, at the age of twelve, I had my name entered four times. Once, because I had to, and three times for tesserae for grain and oil for myself, Prim, and my mother.
In fact, every year I have needed to do this. And the entries are cumulative. So now, at the age of sixteen, my name will be in the reaping twenty times.
Gale, who is eighteen and has been either helping or single-handedly feeding a family of five for seven years, will have his name in forty-two times.
You can see why someone like Madge, who has never been at risk of needing a tessera, can set him off. The chance of her name being drawn is very slim compared to those of us who live in the Seam. Not impossible, but slim.
Gale knows his anger at Madge is misdirected. A way to plant hatred between the starving workers of the Seam and those who can generally count on supper and thereby ensure we will never trust one another. His rages seem pointless to me, although I never say so. But what good is yelling about the Capitol in the middle of the woods? In fact, it scares off the nearby game. I let him yell though. Better he does it in the woods than in the district.
Gale and I divide our spoils, leaving two fish, a couple of loaves of good bread, greens, a quart of strawberries, salt, paraffin, and a bit of money for each. At home, I find my mother and sister are ready to go. My mother wears a fine dress from her apothecary days. Prim is in my first reaping outfit, a skirt and ruffled blouse. A tub of warm water waits for me. I scrub off the dirt and sweat from the woods and even wash my hair. To my surprise, my mother has laid out one of her own lovely dresses for me.
A soft blue thing with matching shoes. And this is something special. Her clothes from her past are very precious to her. I let her towel-dry it and braid it up on my head. I can hardly recognize myself in the cracked mirror that leans against the wall. I hug her, because I know these next few hours will be terrible for her. Her first reaping. That the unthinkable might happen.
I notice her blouse has pulled out of her skirt in the back again and force myself to stay calm. The kind only Prim can draw out of me. The fish and greens are already cooking in a stew, but that will be for supper. This evening, officials will come around and check to see if this is the case. The camera crews, perched like buzzards on rooftops, only add to the effect. The Capitol would use the decimated ruins of District 13 as propaganda to showcase the consequences for rebelling against the government.
With the total loss of support from District 13, their primary military benefactor, the remaining districts could not hope to further resist against the Capitol forces.
In the final phase of the war, commonly referred to as the Dark Days , the Capitol quickly overran all rebel resistance across Panem as the rebellion collapsed in the face of superior numbers and weaponry. One by one, the remaining districts were eventually pacified until at last Panem was reunited under the firm grip of the Capitol. With the collapse of the rebellion, the Treaty of Treason was put into effect on the defeated districts.
The Treaty imposed a number of restrictions on the districts that severely curtailed civil liberties, including inter-district travel and communication, while expanding surveillance and punishment for dissent that was ruthlessly enforced by the Peacekeeper Corps.
The Treaty's most prominent and lasting provision was founding the annual Hunger Games event, both as a cruel reminder of the rebellion and to ensure it never occurred again. It mandated that each district must select one male and female tribute between the ages of 12 and 18 via a lottery system each. The selected children would be taken to the Capitol where they were to be briefly trained before fighting to the death in a winner-take all battle royale in a engineered arena until only one remained, who was crowned Victor.
The most prominent and lasting legacy of the failure of the First Rebellion was the Hunger Games, instituted for the exact purpose of reminding the twelve districts each year of the consequence of rebellion and that they should never attempt it again. In addition, restrictions on communications and travel between the districts were effective at preventing rebel coordination across the districts and isolating Panem's dispersed population.
