Instead of bar(x, y), use

ax = gca;

t = 1:length(y);
bar(t, y, 'Parent', ax);
set(ax, 'XTick', t, 'XTickLabel', x);

Thats work ! Thanks for the help,

Do you have a adivice for better this plot ? I mean, put the "1950,1951.." written vertically in the axis x ?

That mini bars on the top of the figure, i can remove that ?

You can set axes XTickLabelRotation to 90.

The bars at the top are tick locations. I do not see a way to turn them off, but you could set the axes TickLength to something that barely shows up.
