#histodons #archéologie #Pompéi En l'an 79 de notre ère, Pompéi est frappée par l'éruption du Vésuve. Une mémoire figée jusqu'à ce que les archéologues dévoilent l'histoire de cette cité romaine à travers les siècles. Laboratoire à ciel ouvert pour l'archéologie moderne, que peut encore nous raconter l'enceinte de Pompéi ?

The Holocaust could not have happened without the railways. Nearly every victim of the camps arrived by train.
Since the 1990s, survivors have called on European railway companies to acknowledge their role in the deportations. One case, involving Hungary’s state railways, recently faced a setback when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against survivors seeking atonement for the looting of possessions from 440,000 Jews taken to Auschwitz.
“_This article shows that fiscal capacity was not created only by government bureaucracies: the ‘company-state at home’ model presented here complements the narrative of the ‘fiscal-military state’ by showing that much fiscal revenue from trade was realized through the action of the English East India Company (EIC). Lacking the capacity to enact exhaustive laws, carry out complex calculations, or effectively manage a large bureaucracy, the English state relied on the administrative capacity of the EIC to collect customs on the East Indies trade._”

#OnThisDay, 18 Apr 1905, Baroness Bertha von Suttner becomes the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her activism.
As well as writing an influential novel, Lay Down Your Arms (1889), she founded the German Peace Society in 1892. In 1907 she was the only woman to attend the Second Hague Peace Convention, and warned that Europe was heading for war once again.
For #Black #Americans who can’t understand why #Canada and the #EuropeanUnion #StandWithUkraine , go back in #history to before the #CivilWar in the #UnitedStates. #Ukraine is an escaped slave, and #Russia is the slave owner. Get it?
For White #Trump supporters, who will identify with the slave owner in the above analogy, go back further in time to during the #AmericanRevolution. Ukraine is the escaping colony, and #Russia is the colonizing empire. Get it?
