Salem Witchcraft Trials (1 févr. 1692 – 31 mai 1693)

Description:

The Salem Witch Trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. This period of mass hysteria and social paranoia led to the execution of twenty people, most of them women, and is often cited as a cautionary tale of the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, and the breakdown of due process.
