  Fur Trade in North America The:...

  Though the importance of hats is easy to overlook, it was deadly serious in more ways than one, impacting the beavers and birds used to make fashionable hats, the environment of the region, and the people fighting over the resources. Beaver hats put the Dutch, British, and French in conflict, and later the Americans and Canadians. Plumed women’s hats were considerably less important historically, but they had a huge ecological impact. The beaver is a crucial species that once had an immense impact on the environment around it, while the short era concerning the plume trade for women’s hats drove a number of bird species to near-extinction. Indeed, several species have never recovered their numbers. The end product was fashionable men’s and women’s hats, sold primarily in Europe and the United States, but from raw materials to finished products, these hats linked tribal peoples, traders, hunters, trappers, merchants, and soldiers. Whether it crossed their minds or not, countless men and women in London and Paris were linked to the North American wilderness and all the violence it entailed. 
  The fur trade had its tensions, but for many years, traders and natives worked out their own systems, times, and traditions, allowing many different groups to interact and even compete without issues that led to war. Though native groups sometimes found themselves in conflicts based on long-standing rivalries or relations with the Europeans, most of the fur traders, the trappers, the Indians, and Hudson’s Bay Company officials lived peaceably. The great amount of distance from one another in this land of millions of miles likely helped to alleviate tensions. When a new vision for the Hudson’s Bay Company came about, one where settlers, not itinerants, would be responsible for the colony, the rules changed.

  What if Alexander the Great didn't die at thirty-two? Empire of Everything continues the alternate history saga where the most legendary conqueror of all time survives his fever in Babylon—and reinvents the world. As his armies press deeper into Asia, a new challenge emerges: not how to conquer the world, but how to hold it together. From philosophical revolutions and diplomatic crises to religious upheaval and personal sacrifice, Alexander's empire stretches not just across continents, but across ideas, identities, and generations. 
  In this sweeping second volume, Alexander must shift from warrior to ruler, from symbol to system. The boy who wanted to be Achilles becomes the man who must govern millions. But with peace comes politics, and with legacy comes doubt. Can an empire built on ambition survive without conquest? Or will the shadow of the crown consume everything he has built?

  Punic Wars - Events and...

  The Punic Wars were a series of three major conflicts fought between the Roman Republic and the ancient city-state of Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. These wars were pivotal in shaping the balance of power in the ancient Mediterranean, ultimately resulting in the complete destruction of Carthage and the rise of Rome as the dominant power in the region. 
  The first war, known as the First Punic War, began in 264 BC, centered around the strategic island of Sicily. According to the Greek historian Polybius, it was “the longest and most bitterly waged battle in history.” The conflict ignited when Rome’s growing imperial ambitions clashed with Carthage’s established control over the island. Carthage, a formidable maritime power with a vast network of colonies across the western Mediterranean, saw Sicily as vital to its prosperity. Rome, a land-based power with a strong army but a comparatively weak navy, sought to challenge Carthage’s dominance at sea. Over the course of the war, naval engagements dominated, and the conflict resulted in significant losses for both sides. Despite initial setbacks, Rome ultimately prevailed after 23 years of intense fighting, inflicting severe losses on the Carthaginian fleet and forcing Carthage to pay massive reparations. The island of Sicily became Rome’s first province, marking a significant step in the Republic’s expansion. The end of the First Punic War also saw the outbreak of the Mercenary War within Carthage’s borders, a revolt by Carthaginian soldiers who had not been paid, further weakening the empire.

  Who’s the Devil: the Other or...

  “We’ve spent nine trillion dollars bombing the Middle East like mad. We’ve sown death there, including our own. And what has it gotten us? Nothing.” 
  Donald Trump, November 1, 2024. 
  
  The figure of the devil has haunted our collective consciousness since the dawn of time. He structures our societies, whether religious or secular. Sometimes, the devil has been a friend before being “demonized”. Sometimes, by force of circumstance, he has become an ally. And sometimes, the devil must be eliminated to mask or even justify the errors of our societies. 
  Thus, during the Second World War, we made a pact with Stalin to bring down a devil deemed more formidable: Hitler. In Northern Ireland, the British ended up talking with representatives of the IRA, just as the French did a few years earlier with the Algerian FLN. Recently, the Americans negotiated with the Taliban, another terrorist group, before handing over the keys to Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad were friends of the West before the latter precipitated their downfall, even if it meant causing chaos in their countries.
  Régis Le Sommier has been a war reporter for 27 years, and has himself interviewed a number of infamous figures. His aim is to revisit the concept of the devil in the light of recent and current conflicts, in order to answer one question: shouldn’t the deleterious consequences of geopolitics conducted “in the name of good” lead us to doubt the validity of the actions taken by our governments, even today, against those they like to refer to as devils?
