This article presents questions about the relationship that historiography and philosophy of history have with the nation-state and the institutionalized teaching of History. It starts from the idea that there is a kind of pact that united these components in a coherent way, possibly for more than a century. My “theory” is that changes that occurred in all its components, and particularly in the historiography and philosophy of history, require reconfiguring at least its relationship with History teaching. The final theory invites us to reflect on a future in which – for the first time – History teaching is distanced from those dominant lineaments of historiography of its time, or – in order to be conformed to it – it redesigns everything about the goals of teaching history, from its contents to the discourse.
