Loosely inserted card with gift inscription to participant of the 2010 conference on the annexation of the Savoie by Sylvain Milbach, one of the authors in this volume. ; "Aux Sources de l'Histoire de l'Annexion de la Savoie" is a critical historical analysis that delves into the complex and multifaceted process of Savoy's annexation to France in 1860. This scholarly work meticulously examines the political, social, and economic factors that influenced this significant event in European history. The book brings to light various primary sources, including diplomatic correspondence, government documents, and contemporary narratives, to provide a nuanced understanding of the motivations behind the annexation and the negotiations between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia. It explores the strategic interests of Napoleon III and the Italian unification movement's impacts on the region's political landscape. Additionally, the text discusses the reactions of the Savoyard population, addressing issues of national identity and regional autonomy within the broader context of French imperial expansion. Through detailed scholarly research, the book offers insights into the decision-making processes and the international dynamics that shaped this pivotal moment in the history of Savoie, contributing significantly to the historiography of French and Italian political history. ; Paperback; Octavo (standard book size); Cet ouvrage, qui introduit les travaux scientifiques produits ê l+occasion du cent cinquantenaire de l+annexion de la Savoie ê la France en 1860, rassemble les actes d+un colloque rÃuni les 18, 19 et 20 mars 2009 ê Annecy (Haute- Savoie) et ê ChambÃry (Savoie) . Il se prÃsente comme un premier recensement analytique des archives europÃennes avec une remise en perspective de l+historiographie hÃritÃe. Dans cette Ãtude, qui entend Ãlargir les approches jusqu+ici dÃveloppÃes, l+accent porte volontairement sur les aspects multilatÃraux et internationaux du sujet. En 1860, en une pÃriode de profonde modernisation et de rapide renouvellement des relations entre les Etats, la dÃcision de rattacher la Savoie ê la France Ãchappa largement aux Savoyards. Le ¦ concert europÃen + mis en place au congrÃs de Vienne (1815) Ãtait fondà sur une gestion pragmatique des affaires continentales par les chancelleries des grandes puissances, qui consacra l+affaire savoyarde comme le point de passage historique de l+Europe d+Ancien RÃgime ê l+Europe moderne. Ce livre constitue le prÃalable incontournable du colloque historique de 2010, qui exploitera les fonds prÃsentÃs dans ce volume et dont les actes seront publiÃs chez le mÃme Ãditeur. Denis Varaschin est professeur d+histoire contemporaine ê l+università de Savoie, vice-prÃsident du conseil d+administration de son Ãtablissement et chercheur auprÃs du LLS (EA 3706, ChambÃry) et de IRICE (UMR CNRS 8138, Paris).
