The processing of collective memory along a timeline establishes the spirit of a group's identity, its commonalities, its conscience, and the warm bonds between its members. Therefore, wars around the world, crimes of ethnic and mass genocide, acts of urban sabotage, tendencies of political dominance, and attempts to change demographic compositions have all aimed to tamper with the collective memory of peoples, trying to alter its course or erase its components; in order to establish a new collective memory or new identities that align with the purposes of the dominant parties and powers.
