From 1944 to 1946, European countries are liberated from Fascist and national Socialist rule. This means both the evacuation of territories occupied by the 3rd Reich and the end of war, except for Germany. These years also open a new era which features are the search for new political and social balances and a graduate imposition of Stalinist order in Eastern Europe. Whatever the conditions of liberation and those of material, demographic and civic reconstructions as well as political reorganization, it appears that military interventions may work towards immediate practices of problem-solving. But it hardly creates sufficient leverage for building political consensus and legitimacy. The Spain question fits into this workshop since, despite its specificities, the Civil War periode links up its history with that of Europe. Moreover, its neutrality did not prevent this country from suffering the aftershocks of the “totalization” of the war. This workshop aims to discuss several comparative hypotheses on the impact of the military on the politics and practices of transition, putting in relation spaces that are not connected : Eastern, Western, Mediterranean and Balkanic Europe.
