 * I find your article really interesting and greatly helpful the understand the importance of evidences in any historian work. However, do you think that there should be room for the reconstruction or reinterpretation of historical events that didn't happen as for example imagining what would the world be like if the Nazis had won World war II?

Hello! Your question is very interesting. From my point of view (and it is of course a personal one), I think that the reconstruction or reinterpretation of historical events should not take place since it only brings confusion and misunderstanding. It is certainly amusing to discuss this in a private setting, but I do not think that this kind of work should be public, especially in a context where misinformation is constantly increasing. I am thinking of adding a sentence on this subject in my article (while remaining neutral of course) as it is very interesting. Thank you for your help!--Legrandherbage (discuss • contribs) 14:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
