he Caudine Forks and the Dangers of Half-Measures — Gaius & Germanicus — Germanicus and Gaius center their discussion on the instructive Roman historical lesson of the Caudine Forks: a victor must either completely annihilate the enemy or embrace them as genuine allies; choosing the treacherous middle path of ritual humiliation and subordination ensures future vengeance and perpetual instability. Germanicus applies this ancient strategic principle to contemporary geopolitics, arguing that the United States consistently fails this historical test by demanding submission—symbolized by forcing nations beneath the ritualistic "yoke"—without achieving total conquest that transforms hostile nations into obedient subordinate "bricks" within a durable imperial structure. Gaius and Germanicus cite the Treaty of Versailles and the post-Cold War treatment of Russia as prime historical examples where deliberate humiliation without comprehensive conquest bred lasting resentment rather than durable peace, establishing the foundation for subsequent conflicts and nationalist backlash. Germanicus characterizes this approach as reflecting American "narcissism," the desire for dominance without willingness to wage total war, thereby explaining systemic American failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and contemporary tensions with Iran. Germanicus and Gaius warn against applying this "halfway yoke" framework to emerging challenges with Venezuela or Russia, instead counseling that it is strategically safer to permit regimes to decay internally through entropy rather than provoke nationalist backlash through external military or political pressure. Gaius concludes by characterizing current European leaders as "aggressive dependents" psychologically clinging to the Ukraine conflict to artificially preserve their own fragile domestic political authority and suppress internal dissent regarding failing governance.

En Partenariat avec le Salon Histoire de Lire 2025 À travers ce nouvel album, apprenez-en davantage sur l'évolution du groupe après l'intervention de Djibouti et jusqu'au départ de Christian Prouteau en 1983.En 1976, le GIGN accède enfin à la notoriété. Christian Prouteau doit néanmoins continuer à ruser pour obtenir des moyens afin de mener à bien les missions, et même lutter pour la survie du groupe. 1976-1983 est donc une période charnière dans l'histoire du GIGN : les techniques s'affinent, le groupe s'étoffe, les missions plus ou moins connues s'enchaînent avec succès. Mais cet engagement se paye au prix fort. En effet, cette période est aussi celle des premiers gendarmes morts à l'entraînement. 1983 marque un tournant dans cette histoire avec le départ de Christian Prouteau et de la plupart des dix-sept premiers membres. Découvrez dans cette BD l'histoire hors du commun durant laquelle le GIGN va démontrer son professionnalisme et appliquer les principes dictés par son fondateur dès la création du groupe en août 1973. Un travail de retranscription historique ultraréaliste et minutieux, validé et soutenu par Christian Prouteau lui-même, des anecdotes parfois inimaginables sur cette période charnière, très peu abordée.

We're finally caught up on Hallmark Christmas movies, so it's time to head back to UPtv with Ryan. Today, we're reviewing Christmas in Amish Country.ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYA faltering chef returns to her Amish roots in Pennsylvania, finds solace in slow-cooking, and rekindles a friendship with a sweet farmer from her past.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYNovember 30 2025 | UPtvCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRYElla Cannon as ClaireJason Tobias as JackBRAN'S CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY SYNOPSISIt's December 20th and we're at a fancy new restaurant. Chef Claire is making very fancy food — we're talking liquid nitrogen levels of fancy. But it's too fancy. The reviews are awful, and her manager encourages her to sell ASAP. There's no saving this sucker. Reporters love a downfall story, so they're outside her apartment. She mistakes one of the reporters for her rideshare driver.With her flight canceled, she asks him to drive her to Missouri — a 7-hour trip. Looking for the scoop, he says yes and doesn't tell her who he really is. His name is Jack, and they actually kind of hit it off. She even moves to the passenger seat.They arrive in Versailles, Missouri. Jack is stunned to find out it's an Amish town! Her mom? Amish. Her sister-in-law? Amish. The queen of modern molecular gastronomy… is Amish!Jack even saves her mom from an oncoming truck. Hero moment unlocked.This whole time, she thought his name was Chad — her “driver.” He corrects her: he's Jack, and he finally comes clean. Claire is not thrilled, but since he saved her mom's life, he gets to stay with the family.Her family doesn't know what kind of food she really cooks… or about the bad reviews. Jack agrees to keep that quiet.Since he didn't plan on this trip, he has no spare clothes. So naturally, he ends up rocking Amish garb.Jack volunteers to help a guy named Eli, who absolutely hates him. Who does Eli not hate? Claire. He's very into her.When Jack tastes her family's apple butter and pie crust, he's like, “Why aren't you serving this?!” She insists the outside world doesn't want this kind of food.She opens up about her journey, and Jack seems genuinely interested — though that might just be because he's churning butter and can't escape. His back starts hurting, so she gives him an old Amish back rub, and the sparks definitely fly.Jack keeps helping around the farm and loving all the food. He tells her that incorporating her family's cooking could really bring her restaurant to life. Sparks continue… until she finds his initial story draft, which basically calls her a fraud. The family tells him to get lost first thing in the morning.Here's something important about Claire: she's terrified of riding in a horse and buggy because of a past accident. So she's walking to Christmas dinner when she finds her pregnant friend on the path — her water has broken. Claire has to conquer her fear, take the buggy, and get her to the hospital.On Jack's way out of town, he sees Claire walking into the hospital. He offers to help, and she tells him to go pick up the woman's husband — which he does. When he gets back, he tells her he was never going to turn in that hurtful article. He has a new story ready and wants her to read it before he submits it.He brings her back to the farm and gives the whole family a copy of the new article. They all forgive him, and he and Claire kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

En Partenariat avec le Salon Histoire de Lire 2025 Plus de quatre-vingts ans après sa disparition, le régime de Vichy continue de hanter notre mémoire collective. En quelques jours, en juillet 1940, la République s'est effondrée. Derrière le maréchal Pétain, héros national devenu chef de l'État français, et le politicien sans scrupules Pierre Laval, des opportunistes jouant la carte allemande et des doctrinaires d'extrême droite prennent le pouvoir. La dictature s'installe, pour le pire. Optant pour la collaboration politique en 1940, choisissant la voie du crime antisémite en 1942, le gouvernement finit par dresser quasiment toute la population contre lui.Cette page sombre est ici racontée comme jamais auparavant, à partir d'archives inédites, des derniers témoignages exhumés et d'approches historiques renouvelées, attentives aux ressorts psychologiques, à la complexité des parcours et aux marges de manœuvre des acteurs.Au fil de la lecture, apparaît ainsi un tableau pénétrant et contrasté. L'ouvrage montre à la fois la fuite en avant et l'aveuglement égotiste des principaux dirigeants du régime pétainiste, la mise en œuvre de politiques criminelles parfois tempérée par des fonctionnaires formant une véritable zone grise au cœur de l'État, et une opinion publique longtemps attentiste mais inclinant en faveur des Alliés.Une réflexion puissante sur les conséquences funestes de l'amoralité en politique et des conclusions historiques qui interrogent notre présent.Laurent Joly est notre invité en direct du Salon, à Versailles, pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

As a college student and weaver, Amy Oxford fell in love with the punch-needle method of rug hooking almost by accident, a surprising benefit from a babysitting gig. She followed her interest from doing piece work on existing designs to creating large commissioned rugs in her own business. In 1995, she started the Oxford Company to sell supplies and education for punch needle crafters worldwide. The basic techniques of punch needle are straightforward enough to teach in a few minutes, but the opportunities for creativity in line, texture, and color have kept Amy enthralled for 40 years. After completing several large commissioned works, she found herself with repetitive strain injuries in her hand and arm, and she began dreaming of a tool that would let her work pain-free. Partnering with a woodworker and inventor, she developed the Oxford Punch Needle, a groundbreaking wooden-handled tool with a curved grip that's comfortable to push and pull through fabric. Along with manufacturing her own tool and selling hand-dyed yarn and supplies, Amy expanded her reach by teaching the technique, then opening a school that certifies instructors in her methods. Amy has also authored a number of books, most recently Intermediate & Advanced Punch Needle Rug Hooking: Techniques, Projects, and Inspirations with co-author Louise Kulp. Since selling her company in 2024, Amy has returned to punch needle just for the joy of it. “I can just make whatever I want and not have to tell anyone how I've done it,” she says. “I can just play, which is what my students have gotten to do. . . . And so I'm having a lot of fun now punching just for this sheer pleasure of it.” Links The Oxford Company website (https://amyoxford.com/) The Oxford Rug Hooking School (https://amyoxford.com/pages/oxford-rug-hooking-school) Oxford Punch Needle Handbook (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1085/1826/files/Oxford_Punch_Needle_Handbook.pdf?v=1729862800) Amy Oxford's books are published by Schiffer Craft.

Europa en Oekraïne staren naar een ‘vredesplan' dat twee vastgoedmaatjes van Vladimir Poetin en Donald Trump hebben opgesteld. Ongeloof is hun deel. Intussen lekten telefoongesprekken van die bemiddelaars uit, waaruit blijkt dat Trumps gezant Steve Witkoff het Kremlin adviseerde hoe de president te vleien en manipuleren. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger analyseren de situatie in het licht van actualiteit en historie. Poetin wil - net als Jozef Stalin tegenover Franklin D. Roosevelt en Leonid Brezjnev tegenover Richard Nixon - erkend worden als een gelijkwaardig wereldheerser. Te meer nu zijn oorlog geen triomf werd en China Rusland meer en meer als vazal behandelt. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Trump moet een 'vrede' realiseren die Poetin als winnaar etaleert, omdat hij alleen zo het Kremlin kan afsplitsen van Beijing en een deal met Xi Jinping over hun invloedssferen kan regelen. Europa, Gaza en Kyiv zijn alleen maar lastige obstakels voor die geopolitieke ambitie. Dat is de reden waarom de 28 punten van het vredesplan nog het meest lijken op het Verdrag van Versailles, met Oekraïne in de rol van het verslagen Duitsland. Trump vindt Volodymyr Zelensky toch al ondankbaar, dus zetten Witkoff, JD Vance en hij in op een overeenkomst die Poetin comfort geeft. Elementen als de afsplitsing van grensprovincies, halvering van de strijdkrachten, economische exploitatie van grondstoffen, decennia van financieel-economische slavernij en een bewust politiek-diplomatiek isolement moesten in 1919 Duitsland breken en worden nu Oekraïne opgelegd. Zelfs wordt gedicteerd waarin Kyiv als toekomstig EU-lid wel of niet mag participeren, zodat ook de soevereiniteit van de EU en haar lidstaten aan Poetins welgevallen onderworpen zou worden. Eén detail is veelzeggend. De Russische taal en de Russisch-Orthodoxe kerk moeten 'in ere hersteld' worden. Poetin grijpt weer terug op zijn beruchte speech van februari 2022, waarin hij het bestaan van Oekraïne als natie, als volk en cultuur ontkende. Het land moet zich cultureel weer onderwerpen aan het Kremlin en patriarch Kirill, kortom. Hij is de winnaar van deze oorlog. Deze eis grijpt terug naar de oorsprong van de oosterse orthodoxie. In 325 - precies nu groots herdacht, ook door Leo XIV - zat keizer Constantijn de Grote het eerste wereldwijde concilie voor. Met die rol begon het Cesaropapisme waarin de keizer zowel wereldlijk heerser als spiritueel hoofd van zijn imperium was. De historie van die traditie voert ons langs de grandioze Hagia Sophia, via de eerste kathedraal in Kyiv in 1011 en de opkomst van Moskou na het eind van het Mongoolse wereldrijk. De tsaar - ceasar - vereenzelvigde zich ook daar met wereldlijke én spirituele dominantie. Peter de Grote wilde modernere heerschappij en vervolgde bruut de vrome oudgelovigen. Catharina de Grote sloot een politiek compromis met de patriarch, zodat zij - als 'matushka', moerder van het volk - haar verlichte despotie kon doorzetten. Poetins rolmodel, tsaar Nicolaas I, gaf dat cesaropapisme repressieve ideologische en romantisch-nationalistische scherpte. Na de revolutie van 1917 waren de vervolgingen hard, totdat Stalin in 1941 de kerk nodig had als bron van nationale aanmoediging tegen Hitlers Wehrmacht. Om te overleven boog de patriarch opnieuw. Poetin heeft zich dit model eigen gemaakt. Een triomf over Oekraïne via Trump zou bewijzen dat hij een ware tsaar is die de ‘joodse president’, de westerse jeugd en de afgesplitste kerk van dat land weet te onderwerpen. Met de zegen van patriarch Kirill. *** Verder luisteren 253 - Poetins bizarre toespraak: hoe de president de geschiedenis van Oekraïne herschrijft https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2b612355-44ba-44d2-a02d-f2ad719fe23b 522 - Zeven zomerboeken (oa over Sergey Radchenko's boek To run the world) https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/betrouwbare-bronnen-522-zeven-zomerboeken 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0552f0eb-998a-4af2-8960-05429aa1f510 455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0feef3c8-fd13-4461-860a-e54e2eba2f2c 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb 487 - Donder en bliksem in het Oval Office https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1470ab7b-7d1b-4138-be83-0d4bdd6f37aa 413 - "Eensgezind kunnen we elke tegenstander aan."

In this dense, far-reaching conversation, Matt Ehret and Ghost break down the rapidly shifting global order through the lens of MBS, Trump, Russia, and the unraveling of Western hegemony. They explore Saudi Arabia's hard line on Palestinian statehood, why MBS won't be bribed into the Abraham Accords, and how Trump's 20-point peace plan aligns with decades of promises to Palestinian leaders. From Qatar's 2017 counter-terrorism agreement and its role in cutting ISIS financing, to the quiet construction of U.S. military infrastructure in Israel, the episode connects today's moves to a broader geopolitical realignment driven by bilateral trade agreements and nuclear energy development. Matt and Ghost highlight how NATO is collapsing under its own contradictions, why Germany may soon break from EU control, and how populist nationalism is reshaping global alliances. They close with deep historical context, Harding, Versailles, Templars, mystery cults, and how symbols, language, and institutions are reclaimed or co-opted across eras, all while Trump and Putin maneuver to neutralize the Ukraine conflict and dismantle the warmongering architecture behind it.

In this episode of “Half Hour,” we take a sharper look at the new Broadway musical The Queen of Versailles at the St. James Theatre, tracing Jackie and David Siegel's rise, their unfinished Orlando mega-mansion, and the show's transformation of Lauren Greenfield's documentary into a full-scale musical. We dig into Stephen Schwartz's score, Lindsey Ferrentino's book, and Michael Arden's staging, asking how the music, design, and performances serve the story's ideas about wealth, ambition, and collapse, with particular focus on sound design, vocal clarity, and the tension between flashy visuals and what the audience actually hears. We also examine Kristin Chenoweth's performance as Jackie, the ensemble around her, and the design team's scenic, lighting, and costume choices, before turning to how The Queen of Versailles may factor into this season's Tony Awards races and where it sits among the year's other large new musicals.

Nous sommes en janvier 1786, à Paris. Admirée pour son esprit, considérée comme l'une des plus belles femmes de son temps, Lady Frances Crewe, figure de l'aristocratie anglaise, alors qu'elle séjourne dans la capitale française, visite la boutique de Mode de Rose Bertin. Elle décrira la propriétaire de la manière suivante : « Elle était assise sur une sorte de trône, ou du moins sur une chaise surélevée, au centre d'une [grande] salle, entourée de personnes de tous rangs et de toutes dénominations, qui écoutaient ses directives sur l'article important qu'est la tenue vestimentaire. Elle était elle-même décorée d'une manière beaucoup plus splendide que les autres, ses doigts étant couverts de grandes bagues précieuses, comme celles qui sont actuellement en vogue, et ayant, en bref, une montre, des chaînes, des tresses. Des montres, des chaînes et des colifichets d'une valeur infinie étaient disséminés sur toute sa personne. » A 27 ans, en effet, Mademoiselle Bertin a déjà parcouru un chemin impressionnant, venant d'un milieu des plus modestes. C'est une ambitieuse et son ambition ne fait que croître. La cour de Versailles est dans son viseur, la reine Marie-Antoinette lui permettra de réaliser son plan. On la surnommera « ministre des Modes » ou « ministre des Colifichets », ce sont des titres dérisoires qui ne doivent pas faire oublier son véritable tempérament, celui d'une audacieuse qui a du flair. Elle est à l'origine de ce que l'on appelle la haute couture. Elle s'est attachée à transformer l'artisanat en art, comprenant que les apparences, le goût et son commerce pouvaient être les outils puissants du pouvoir, jouer un rôle essentiel en matière de diplomatie et de rayonnement d'une nation. Le parcours de Rose Bertin se confond avec l'un des plus grands bouleversements qu'a connus le continent européen : la Révolution française. La fin d'un monde. Un crépuscule auquel l'obstinée Rose Bertin parviendra à survivre.

Peterman Brothers' Andrew Hasty unpacks Commitment #4 from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: Create Win-for-All Solutions. Andrew draws a powerful parallel between history and leadership using the Treaty of Versailles and the aftermath of World War I to show how "win–lose" thinking always backfires. He challenges leaders in the trades to move beyond short-term victories and build systems where everyone: customer, field professional, and the company — can win together. Through real stories from the Peterman team, Andrew shows why loyalty to outcomes, not rigid processes, leads to better results and a stronger culture. He breaks down the four keys to "win for all" leadership: candor, abundance, allyship, and curiosity, and reminds every leader that their people's failures are theirs to own and their successes are theirs to celebrate.

The goal is to create outcomes that benefit everyone. Loyalty to Outcomes Over Processes: Processes matter, but leaders must be flexible enough to adapt them in pursuit of better results. Candor, Abundance, Allies, and Curiosity: The four traits every conscious leader must cultivate to build trust and innovation. Own the Failures, Give Away the Wins: A true leader takes responsibility when things go wrong and gives credit when they go right. Empowering Field Pros: Every policy or protocol should make life easier for the people in the field—the ones driving the company forward.

LUKE BROWNING TO HIT THE TRACK IN ABU DHABI FP1 AND YOUNG DRIVER TEST Atlassian Williams Racing is pleased to share that Williams Racing Academy Driver Luke Browning will drive Alex Albon's FW47 in the first free practice session at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and will participate in the end-of-season Young Driver Test. Luke joined the Williams Racing Driver Academy in April 2023 following his stand-out 2022 season where he secured the GB3 Championship and won the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award. Since joining the Academy he has continued this upward trajectory, winning the Macau Grand Prix in 2023, also taking pole position and the fastest lap, and finishing the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season in third with two race wins and a podium in Monaco. As part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy's proud tradition of giving young talent a path into F1, Luke has regularly driven in the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) and simulator programmes with the aim of preparing him for the future. He has balanced this with a successful FIA Formula 2 campaign, currently occupying third position in the standings and going into the final two races of the season in a fierce battle for the title. Luke Browning: “It's going to be an unforgettable weekend in Abu Dhabi fighting for the Formula 2 title while getting back behind the wheel of the FW47, and it's a challenge I'm going to relish. The Young Driver Test will give me a final opportunity to help the team prepare for 2026 and I'm looking forward to being part of a Formula 1 weekend for the last time this season. Thank you to everyone at the Driver Academy and Williams for the trust once again.” Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Atlassian Williams Racing: “Luke's development continues to impress us, and we are looking forward to closing the season with him behind the wheel of the FW47. We have an incredibly talented group of drivers in the Williams Racing Driver Academy, and it is important for us to give them the opportunity to progress as they move up the ladder. These final sessions of the season will give Luke another valuable chance to learn from Alex and Carlos, the wider team, and further embed with our trackside operation as he looks towards a bright future.” Mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP to Make Post-Restoration Debut at 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance  Harry Segrave beside the Sunbeam 1000 HP. (Photo: Courtesy of the National Motor. Museum) PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (November 12, 2025)­­­­ — The mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP, the first car to achieve a land speed record of 200 mph, has been asleep for over 90 years. But a team of restorers at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, England, is now in the process of gently waking this giant—and if all goes as planned, the restored beast will make its US debut at the 2026 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before attempting a centennial run at Daytona the following spring.    “The process of restoring a one-off car like this takes real dedication,” noted Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “There is no pattern to be followed. It takes time and research, effort and expertise. We are thrilled to know that the National Motor Museum intends to send the restored car to Pebble Beach, to share with enthusiasts here.”   The Sunbeam 1000 HP was built to compete in the race for speed. The 100 mph barrier was first broken in 1904, and then it took more than two decades to reach 150 mph—a record Malcolm Campbell achieved in July of 1925 at the wheel of a Sunbeam 350 HP. The Sunbeam 1000 HP, crafted around two of the marque's powerful 22.4-liter Matabele aero engines placed to the fore and aft of the vehicle, came into being less than two years later and proved to be revolutionary. Driving it on the smooth sands of Daytona Beach on March 29, 1927, Harry Segrave recorded a speed of 203.79 mph.   “This car has been at Beaulieu since before I was born and feels like a member of the family, but one I never expected to run again,” said Ralph, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. “Watching the restoration take place has been fascinating as it has revealed so much I never knew about the car. It will be quite a thrill to have the car at Pebble Beach and is a great opportunity for us to wave the flag for the National Motor Museum!” The car's restoration is now well underway. The rear engine has already been disassembled, re-machined, restored, and refitted into the frame—and it was first fired up before an adoring crowd at the Beaulieu International Autojumble in early September. The museum team is now focused on restoring the front engine. When that, too, is back together and in place, the bodywork, which has already been restored, will be reinstalled.   “Over the last three and a half years, the Museum's team have worked tirelessly to make the mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP roar again, with help from a wide range of supporters, stakeholders and heritage engineering specialists,” said Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum. “Having experienced the first of the car's remarkable engines running once more, we are all now thrilled at the prospect of the Sunbeam returning to the United States for the first time in a century.”   John, the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, was a motoring pioneer, who campaigned for the rights of early motorists. In the 1950s, his son Edward founded what is now the National Motor Museum to honor him, and that museum shares a long history with the Pebble Beach Concours. Edward first showed a car—his 1913 Alfonso Hispano-Suiza—at Pebble Beach in 1981, and the following year, he donated the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, which the Concours presents annually to the best British car shown on its competition field. Ralph, the current Lord Montagu, was in attendance at the Concours this year.   To learn more about the National Motor Museum and its efforts to restore the Sunbeam 1000 HP, go to www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/USA.

Plus de 150 entreprises françaises sont attendues à la Maison de la Chimie, à Paris, ce lundi 17 novembre, pour le sommet Choose France. Une édition rassemblant - cette fois - uniquement des groupes tricolores ; elle intervient alors que l'industrie française traverse une période difficile. C'est un rendez-vous devenu incontournable depuis 2018. Chaque année, Emmanuel Macron convie au château de Versailles des investisseurs étrangers qui font le choix de la France, l'occasion d'annoncer des projets qui se chiffrent à plusieurs milliards d'euros. Cette fois, seules les entreprises tricolores sont invitées pour cette « édition France » du sommet. À l'Élysée, on veut « célébrer la France qui réussit », montrer « qu'en dehors des débats politico-médiatiques, il y a des entreprises qui continuent d'investir ». Ce sommet s'inscrit d'ailleurs dans une séquence politique : il y a dix jours, le salon du Made in France se tenait à la porte de Versailles, et ce week-end, Emmanuel Macron a inauguré l'exposition du Fabriqué en France. Cette fois, d'après Bercy, l'idée est de « montrer qu'il y a une réalité qui dépasse le contexte budgétaire et l'instabilité internationale ». Une « nouvelle phase de désindustrialisation » Pourtant, pour les entreprises tricolores, la réalité est plutôt sombre. Au premier semestre 2025, il y a eu 44 ouvertures de sites industriels, contre 82 fermetures. Le solde est positif si on inclut dans les chiffres les extensions de sites, mais le constat de la Direction générale des entreprises est clair : il y a un « ralentissement de la réindustrialisation ». Pour Anaïs Voy-Gillis, chercheuse associée à l'université de Poitiers, cela va même plus loin. D'après elle, « on est dans une phase de destruction de valeur industrielle, une nouvelle phase de désindustrialisation ». Parmi les secteurs en crise, on note l'automobile. Avec, par exemple, l'annonce, il y a quelques jours, par l'équipementier allemand Mahle de la fermeture de son site de Moselle. L'agroalimentaire souffre également, à l'image de Danone qui va fermer son usine historique de Blédina, à Villefranche-sur-Saône. Discussions « à bâtons rompus » Alors qu'est-ce qui bloque ? Il y a l'instabilité politique en France, qui « retarde les investissements des entreprises », pour Anaïs Voy-Gillis. La féroce concurrence internationale est également l'un des facteurs qui explique ce ralentissement, venue notamment de Chine, qui inonde le marché européen de ses excédents de production. La semaine dernière, un collectif d'entrepreneurs français publiait, dans le Journal du dimanche, une tribune dénonçant la surtaxation et l'empilement des normes. Pour les entreprises françaises, ce sommet sera donc l'occasion d'évoquer toutes ces difficultés. À Bercy et Matignon, on promet des discussions « à bâtons rompus » avec les industriels.

La perte du Canada par la France, entérinée en 1763 par le traité de Paris, marque l'un des tournants majeurs de l'histoire coloniale mondiale. Cet événement, souvent résumé comme la conséquence d'une défaite militaire, s'explique en réalité par un ensemble de causes stratégiques, économiques et politiques.Au XVIIIᵉ siècle, la France et l'Angleterre s'affrontent pour le contrôle de l'Amérique du Nord. La Nouvelle-France — qui s'étend alors du Canada jusqu'à la Louisiane — compte environ 70 000 habitants, contre près d'un million dans les Treize Colonies britanniques. Cet écart démographique colossal pèse lourdement : la France peine à peupler et à défendre son immense territoire, alors que les Anglais disposent d'une puissance humaine et logistique bien supérieure.La guerre de Sept Ans (1756–1763) fut l'aboutissement de cette rivalité impériale. En Europe, elle opposait déjà les grandes puissances ; en Amérique, elle prit la forme d'une véritable guerre coloniale, appelée “French and Indian War” par les Britanniques. Les troupes françaises, alliées à plusieurs nations autochtones, remportèrent d'abord plusieurs succès, notamment sous Montcalm. Mais la supériorité navale britannique et la puissance financière de Londres finirent par renverser la situation. En 1759, la bataille décisive des Plaines d'Abraham, près de Québec, scella le sort de la colonie : les généraux Montcalm et Wolfe y trouvèrent la mort, et Québec tomba entre les mains britanniques.Mais la défaite militaire ne suffit pas à expliquer la perte du Canada. À Versailles, le roi Louis XV et ses ministres considéraient la colonie comme secondaire par rapport aux Antilles, sources de sucre, d'or blanc et de richesses. Lors des négociations du traité de Paris, la France préféra conserver la Guadeloupe et la Martinique, plus rentables économiquement, en abandonnant le Canada, jugé “un pays de quelques arpents de neige”, selon la formule célèbre du philosophe Voltaire.La perte du Canada illustre donc un choix stratégique autant qu'une défaite. Elle marque la fin de la présence française en Amérique du Nord continentale, mais pas de l'influence française, qui subsista par la langue, la religion et la culture. Ironie de l'histoire : quelques années plus tard, la France soutiendra les colons américains dans leur lutte contre l'Angleterre — une revanche symbolique sur la défaite du Canada. Hébergé par Acast.

The Siege, Starvation, and the Start of the Communard Revolt. Sebastian Smee discusses how during the Prussian siege of Paris, Parisians suffered terribly in the coldest winter on record. Radical Republicans grew furious at the moderate government's failure to defeat the Prussians. When the government surrendered and accepted severe conditions, the radicals decided to revolt. The revolutionaries, gathering in March 1871, seized cannons and established the Commune. The Communards were more libertarian than communist, aiming to democratize society. They were violent immediately, and the government forces retreated to Versailles. Paris found itself besieged again by French government forces directed by Adolphe Thiers.
