Historian Patrick Boucheron revisits the most important dates in history through the prisms of memory and collective imagination.

The history of decolonization from the point of view of colonized peoples, an epic story that still resonates and reverberates to this day.

China's history of the last 200 years seems like a boomerang, returning to the West what it once unleashed. The series reveals how devastating the struggles for identity and power have been for the population since the fall of the "Middle Kingdom," and how closely these tragedies are intertwined with our own. Great hopes were placed in a wide variety of visions for the future—and each time, bitter disappointment ensued. From the decline of the empire to its resurgence as a superpower, China's history is both a dream and a nightmare, in which human life is of little value.
