English term or phrase: let's make history together!
The context is not very important in this case.

I have only found "entrons dans l'histoire ensemble!" or "Crééons l'histoire ensemble!", neither of which sound very french to me.

Maybe someone has a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

"écrire l'histoire". C'est une collocation en français.

agree  Alcime Steiger: Un petit agree quand même (!) pour le "Ensemble" en première position et aussi parce que je crois bien que "faire l'histoire" est également une collocation...
