Quand l'Histoire sert à faire la guerre


First Edition
Edited by Benjamin Deruelle


"In order to make people forget or to force them to remember, they erased the traces of the past and flooded the media with lies to which they wanted to give the appearance of history." Read More

On 21 February 2022, Vladimir Putin recognised the independence of the Ukrainian separatist territories. Three days later, Russia invaded Ukraine. Once again, history, at the centre of the Russian president's speech, had been used to justify the war.

Within the human and social sciences, history is unique in that it is not only a means of knowing the past, but also a tool for structuring identities and constructing national imaginations. Its argumentative and justificatory power has made it an instrument of political power and action. Over the centuries, leaders of states, social or political groups have mobilised, misused or manipulated it in order to prepare their public opinions, to convince the undecided, to encourage military engagement or to legitimise, in the eyes of the international community, the justification for the use of force and violence.

Between historical rigour and social issues, at the heart of the relationship between history, power and society, the texts gathered in this volume review the bellicose uses of history. From Antiquity to the present day, from the East to the West and from the North to the South, each chapter reminds us that knowledge of the past remains essential not only to understand the present world and its dynamics, but also to protect ourselves from the instrumentalisation of history and disinformation, both in the past and in the age of social networks.
