The development of virtual tours related to museums began with the explosion of the Internet in the nineties. While highlighting the indispensability of real visits, the objectives of the first virtual systems focus on spreading works of art dedicated to specialists and the general public. The goals are educational, scientific and touristic, especially when it comes to remote audiences. The latter processes related to virtual visits, such as the Google Art Project, despite a very high degree of realism, do not change the situation related to the uses identified in the first virtual tours. However, in parallel with the proliferation of media using the Internet and future technological advances, all these processes can still be improved and they offer significant development opportunities.

Shortly after the Great War, Paul Vidal de la Blache and Lucien Gallois authored Le bassin de la Sarre. Clauses du traité de Versailles. Étude historique et économique. This paper explores the context in which Le bassin de la Sarre was written and published. A bibliological analysis shows the evolution of its textual and iconographic corpus from its first formulation within the Comité d'études, created in 1917 to define France's war goals. It turns out that the book, while displaying the neutrality proper to science, is strongly connected to the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, by supporting France's position about this contested region.

AbstractGermany's revisionist policy in the interwar period constituted a prime source of international instability. From the Treaty of Versailles to the advent of Adolf Hitler, the statesmen of the Weimar Republic pursued a purposeful, nationalistic diplomacy aimed at eroding the treaty's main provisions. Revisionspolitik, which united most segments of the Reich public, was highly successful: the divisions among the former allies and Soviet Russia helped contribute to the achievements of the statesmen Rathenau, Stresemann and Bruning. By 1933 the Nazi regime, less prudent and more militant, was able to build on its predecessors' labours to regain German hegemony in Europe, supported by a nation grown accustomed to an irredentist foreign policy as welt as by diplomatic partners who had largely acquiesced in Berlin's revisionism. Though historians still differ over the style, methods, individual practitioners, and short- and long-term goals of Weimar foreign policy, it seems clear that it was the most pervasive, integral element of republican diplomacy.
