- An important pilgrimage site in antiquity, the island of Philae has fascinated travelers for centuries. On this rock rising from the Nile, nicknamed the "pearl of Egypt", powerful rulers have built monumental sanctuaries from the time of the last pharaohs to the Romans. Subsequently, the temples were looted, vandalized or transformed, before the successive construction of two dams in the 20th century sealed the fate of the island. To save the precious vestiges from the rising waters, an international campaign coordinated by UNESCO was undertaken in the 1970s. The objective: to dismantle the monuments stone by stone to rebuild them on a neighboring island.
- Born in 1859, William Henry McCarty never knew his father. As a teenager, he followed his mother in a convoy of pioneers on their way west. Once in New Mexico, his mother died and the young man was left to fend for himself at the age of 15. He became a cowboy in Arizona and killed a man in self-defense. Convicted of murder, he escapes. From homicides to stories of cattle rustlers and bounty hunters, the whole mythology of the Wild West is embodied in Billy the Kid. Since King Vidor's "Billy the Kid" in 1930, the outlaw has fueled the imagination of some fifteen directors, the most memorable film being Sam Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" in 1973.

- Coming from the upper industrial bourgeoisie of Wuppertal, the young Friedrich Engels much preferred philosophy and politics to business. Having observed in the family textile factories, especially in Manchester, the appalling living conditions of the workers, he theorizes the relations between bourgeoisie and proletariat by relying on the Hegelian dialectic, studied in Berlin. The meeting in 1844 with Karl Marx, whose ideas he shared, sealed an indelible friendship, punctuated by travels, and an intellectual collaboration among the most fruitful in history. From the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" to "Capital", of which Engels will rework and publish the last volumes after the death of his friend, their two names will remain inseparable.
- By launching its fleet against the Chinese junks in 1889, the British Empire declared one of the first wars motivated solely by economic interests. Deploring a trade balance largely in deficit with China, the United Kingdom wants to sell him its stocks of opium by force. Faced with resistance from the Qing Empire, the British went on the offensive in the name of free trade, whose pacificating virtues they were convinced of. Since this exemplary history of ambiguous relations between states, from cooperation to fierce competition, trade wars have been repeated, increasingly sophisticated but not always less bloody. The advent of the industrial revolution, liberalism and then globalization have multiplied the sources of conflict.
