The sailors Manech Etcheverry and Taulo Garat were killed with their head cut from guillotine. 47 young people from the deserted area of the French Army were accused of helping to cross the border with Hego Euskal Herria. Sara, Ainhoa and Itsasu left their homes and were exiled.

When France declared war on monarchic Spain, many citizens of Lapurdi, Zuberoa and Baja Navarra refused to be recruited. The French Army occupied the Basque Country strongly and declared the Basque to be against the revolution.
