Le droit de vote accordé aux femmes britanniques à l’issue de la Première Guerre mondiale : une récompense pour les services rendus ? by Véronique Molinari

“…Besides, many elements contradict the idea of the vote as a reward: the mass dismissal of women workers at the end of the war and the volte-face of the press in the following years, the age restriction imposed by the Representation of the People Act that left most women war-workers out of the electorate because they were under 30, or again the reluctance of the government to include women in an electoral reform made necessary to allow soldiers to vote. For one should not forget that the electoral reform of 1918 was never meant for women and that women’s suffrage was, in fact, the only measure in the whole bill not to be approved unanimously.…”

Uncovering the Provenance of “Orphaned” Objects by Haoyang Zhao

“…However, as commonly encountered in provenance research, a thorough analysis of the available archives indicates that portions of pages held in various institutions were acquired from unrelated individuals or dealers at different times, without substantial evidence linking them directly to the looting of Yuanmingyuan or to soldiers involved in the looting. Consequently, it is not possible to definitively establish their Yuanmingyuan provenance. …”

La Première guerre carliste ou la guerre de la dernière chance : la communauté légitimiste face à son destin by Laetitia Blanchard Rubio

La mobilisation autour des « atrocités de l'ennemi », Russie 1914-1918 by Alexandre Sumpf

“…However, their goal seemed not so much proving the moral superiority of the "just" Russian warfare, than to obtain repeated involvement from civilians and feed the soldiers’ fears. The Krivtsov Commission played a minor role in this affair: its members were not able to define the national perception of the ongoing conflict, to mobilize efficiently the Russian population, to persuade other nations to join the Entente, or even to elaborate a clear inculpation for a grand postwar trial against the German warfare. …”

Le massacre d’Ascq 1944 par les SS : rejeux médiatiques contemporains des procédures judiciaires (années 2000-2010) by Jean-Paul Barrière

“…The article aims to explore the contemporary repercussions of the SS massacre committed in Ascq in 1944: 1/ the use of the latter by Jean-Marie Le Pen and the legal proceedings (2005-2013) he incurred for Holocaust denial; 2/ the role of the victims’ descendants and of the traditional media (print media, TV) in France and Germany in the impossible belated trial of the last SS soldiers who took part in this crime (2013-2019). Even if the attention paid to Le Pen, via his public words on Ascq, is logically less than in France, the German press takes very little time to report on this judicial process, especially in the period of presidential elections and strategic changes in the National Front. …”
