๐Ÿ’ก Quand les bouleversements sโ€™accumulent, la certitude dโ€™รชtre ร  un point dโ€™inflexion historique devient gรฉnรฉrale. Au regard des รฉvรฉnements actuels, est-ce vraiment le cas ? Lโ€™historien britannique David Motadel interroge dans The Guardian lโ€™incertitude historique qui sโ€™ouvre devant nous.
