Il en va de même en histoire où, depuis le XIe siècle, les termes de...

En su obra póstuma, Marc Bloch, para algunos el mejor historiador del siglo xx, quiso contarnos sus experiencias del hundimiento de Francia en 1940: de una extraña y vergonzosa derrota que vivió como capitán de Estado Mayor, pero es también la reflexión de un intelectual que asume la responsabilidad de quienes no se atrevieron a implicarse en los problemas de su tiempo.

The area of Amalthea, better known as Central College, was platted by Timothy Lee in 1816. Situated three miles southeast of Westerville, Central College was built along Big Walnut Creek. A college known as the Blendon Institute was formed in 1832. In 1842, the institute was given to the Presbyterian church to form the Central College of Ohio.
