Le passe insupportable

The unbearable past: pacifisms, 1984, 1938, 1914. Maurice Waïsse An analysis of the pacifist movements in the 1980s, between the two world wars and before 1914, shows their heterogeneity, their many causes and their twin faces : Judaeo-Christian and socialist. There has not been one pacifism per war : each movement is unable to avert the storm ; the success or the failure of the causes of peace or war owe nothing to pacifism. In fact, in the twentieth century, we may have had only the pacifism of past wars and of related fears
