Le violon est inventé en Italie.
Cet instrument à cordes frottés,
qui nécessite un assemblage

rapidement très populaire.
Entre les deux géants, rien ne va plus : la guerre froide, qui durera
plus de 40 ans, vient de commencer. Pendant ce temps, de nombreux
pays colonisés luttent pour leur indépendance, et plusieurs
nouveaux États voient le jour.
En Espagne, à la suite du siège de la ville
de Grenade et de la capitulation des « Maures »,
la Reconquista se termine. Le pays, occupé
depuis près de 800 ans par les musulmans,
revient finalement aux mains des catholiques.
La construction de la gigantesque basilique
Saint-Pierre de Rome débute en 1506 et
durera plus d’un siècle. De nombreux artistes,
tels Michel-Ange, Bramante ou le Bernin,
y participent.
Les peintres sont désormais considérés comme
des artistes. Même s’ils continuent à peindre
de nombreux sujets religieux, c’est maintenant
l’Antiquité qui les inspire. Certains, dont
Léonard de Vinci avec sa célèbre Joconde,
réalisent des portraits.
L’astronome polonais Copernic
est le premier à affirmer que les
planètes tournent autour du Soleil.
L’Église, qui soutient que la Terre

• Growing up a Serious Challenge
Située à 1 200 mètres
d’altitude, Brasilia devient la
capitale du Brésil en 1960.
Cette nouvelle cité a été
construite de toutes pièces
au bord d’un lac artificiel
et au beau milieu d’un désert.
Construit en 1961 et surnommé
« mur de la honte », le mur de Berlin
sépare la capitale allemande en
deux. Cette construction est destinée
à empêcher les Berlinois de l’Est à
passer à l’Ouest, où le régime est
démocratique et où le niveau de
vie est bien plus élevé. C’est aussi
le symbole d’une guerre froide qui
oppose l’Union soviétique (à l’Est)
aux États-Unis (à l’Ouest).
En 1963, quatre jeunes Anglais
forment un groupe de rock et
enregistrent leur premier disque.
Les Beatles sont nés et ils vont
connaître un succès planétaire.
Le leader noir Martin Luther King
lutte contre la ségrégation raciale
aux États-Unis. En 1963, il organise
une grande marche rassemblant
250 000 personnes à Washington.
Il y prononce son célèbre I have
a dream, où il dit avoir fait le rêve
d’une nation dans laquelle les
enfants noirs vivraient heureux dans
un monde sans racisme. En 1968,
il est assassiné à Memphis.
En 1963, la guerre de Vietnam éclate : le Sud,
soutenu par les Américains, s’oppose au Nord,
qui est communiste et donc aidé par la Chine et l’URSS.
Pour faire face à un ennemi très mobile, le camp
occidental envoie des hélicoptères.
Quand l´homme
marche sur la lune
La ville de Berlin est séparée en deux par un mur, Martin Luther King se fait
assassiner (tout comme Che Guevara), la guerre du Vietnam s’éternise…
Pendant ce temps, les Beatles comptent de plus en plus de fans.
En Europe, on comprend mieux

En 1947, les Britanniques
accordent l’indépendance
à l’Inde. Cependant,
les musulmans de cette
ancienne colonie, qui
ne veulent pas cohabiter

réclament leur propre
État : le Pakistan.
Cette séparation donne
lieu à de violents

En 1967, un chirurgien réalise la

de l’histoire en Afrique du Sud.
L’intervention dure plus de 9 heures
et nécessite la présence d’une
équipe d’une trentaine de personnes.
Beaucoup de chrétiens se méfient
du pape qu’ils accusent de vouloir
s’enrichir. En réaction aux abus
des dignitaires religieux, Luther,
un moine allemand, crée l’Église
protestante. L’Europe est bientôt
divisée entre catholiques et protestants.
Après 20 ans d’une guerre civile opposant
les nationalistes et les communistes,
ces derniers l’emportent. Mao Zedong
proclame alors la République Populaire de
Chine et en devient le premier président.
Peu à peu, l’Europe découvre
des aliments inconnus venus
du Nouveau Monde. Parmi eux :
le cacao, l’ananas, la pomme

En 1954, des nationalistes algériens

de l’indépendance de l’Algérie, est alors
créé. Ces événements marquent le début
de la guerre d’Algérie qui ne s’achèvera
qu’en 1962.
Le 14 mai 1948, l’État d’Israël est fondé en Palestine afin d’accueillir
les survivants de l’holocauste et les Juifs de la diaspora souhaitant y vivre.
Ce nouvel État, auquel ses voisins arabes sont hostiles, devra faire face
à de nombreux conflits armés.

En France, la Ve République est fondée
par le général de Gaulle, qui en devient

leur indépendance.
En 1967, alors qu’il mène
une guérilla en Bolivie,
Che Guevara est arrêté
et exécuté à l’âge de 39
ans. Dans le monde entier,
celui qui a lutté contre la
dictature de Batista à Cuba
au côté de Fidel Castro
deviendra le symbole des

Au mois de mai 1968,
à Paris, des étudiants

Flaps open up to show the diabolical tricks that hide in their heads, what hides beneath
their disguises, or who were the victims of their last meal (and are comfortably settled in
their stomach!). Each villain is presented with an identity card which states its strengths
its weaknesses, its favorite pastimes, its physical characteristics, and its favorite meals.
