Making History

Voltaire:
          “Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.”
“En effet, l’histoire n’est que le tableau des crimes et des malheurs.”                                                                                                       (The Sincere Huron / L’Ingénu,  1767, ch.10)

This is apparently a sound observation, but an incomplete one.
History is also a tableau of fighting crimes and overcoming misfortunes.
