In July 2020, the country commemorated the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the War of 1870, which from 18 July 1870 to 28 January 1871 pitted France against a German coalition led by Bismarck's Prussia.

THEY FOUGHT May-June 1940 - Unpublished Photos and Testimonies of the Battle of France

L20200278
€23.70
The defeat of 1940 remains the greatest political and moral drama to have shaken France in the 20th century. Beaten in six weeks, the French have since retained the impression of an ill-equipped national army and a poorly commanded country, quicker to flee than to resist the enemy. More broadly, the "syndrome of forty" is a deep trauma in the collective...

The Great Blunders of the Second World War

L20200277
€18.96
The Second World War lasted nearly six years, as long as they were terrible. A duration explained by the formidable means that the belligerents deployed on land, at sea and in the skies — making it futile to hope to defeat the enemy in a single campaign — but also, and in large part, by the mistakes committed. Had Hitler not persisted in winning the...

Although the Vampire was designed and used as a fighter by the Armée de l'Air, this role was not to remain its exclusive domain for long.
