Inevitably, in the more or less long term, history proves that peace comes from war. But history too often stops at the simplest notion of peace, that peace which in the common sense corresponds to the peace of weapons. This peace that the history books close with a date, the date of the signed treaty that puts end to the hostilities.

This peace is a civil peace.

But at this point, true peace is not definitive because peace has many detentions. To have a chance of lasting peace, civil peace must first be quickly followed by social peace. To ignore this reality is to run the risk of the emergence of a dictatorship, nationalism, fundamentalism or of one of the most destructive and pernicious forms of war, civil war.
