From 1565 till 1569, a major rebellion took hold of the Flandre, Hainaut and Artois provinces. Noblemen came together and militated against the policies led by the king of Spain, Philip II, and his ministers. Soon, the rebels were given the nickname "Les Gueux" (or beggars), a derogatory term which they yet proudly reclaimed.

Viollet-le-Duc's activity as a contemporaneous architect and builder is often overshadowed by his actions as a restorer of medieval heritage. His implementations, his projects and his writings about this subject are nevertheless prolific, what fully justifies a renewed thinking about his works.

Germany is often and alternately accused of practicing a hegemonic policy towards its neighbors or too great restraint in foreign policy. This book proposes a nuanced picture of different aspects of German influence and restraint in the last decades.

Each big railway network exemplified modernity, for the building works, the equipments, technologies and financing, as an adventure of progress! The connection between Paris and Bordeaux is thus valued thanks to this history from the 1840s till the present arguments about the profitability of the new high speed line (LGV), to be opened in 2017.

La Première Guerre mondiale consacre l'émergence d’un nouveau genre littéraire sur la scène éditoriale européenne : le témoignage. Rares furent ceux qui s’avisèrent, à l’époque, de la valeur inestimable des écrits de combattants stupéfaits par ce qu’ils avaient découvert au front et déterminés à faire connaître aux vivants le vrai visage...

Les manifestations de l'automne 1989 en RDA ont eu tendance à occulter d’autres formes de résistance et d’opposition, plus anciennes et moins spectaculaires, comme les actions de contre-propagande, la critique de dissidents marxistes, l’existence de subcultures ou l’émergence d’une presse clandestine qui ont pourtant, elles aussi, contribué...

Depuis la seconde guerre mondiale, l'histoire des relations franco-allemandes est souvent personnifiée. Dans ce contexte, Willy Brandt et Georges Pompidou restent souvent dans l’ombre de couples plus connus. Alors que Brandt est plutôt associé à la nouvelle Ostpolitik, Pompidou est davantage considéré comme le successeur plutôt effacé du...

Résultat d’une recherche internationale, les contributions ici regroupées montrent..
