HI 251 - War and Enlightenment:Europe in the Eighteenth Century

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

This course deals with the so-called "long" eighteenth-century,which lasted from 1688 (the year of the Glorious Revolution in England) to 1815, the year of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. This was a crucial time, as it brought dramatic changes to the social fabric, political institutions, economies, and cultures of Western Europe. We will look at these developments in some detail, focusing on the Enlightenment, 17th and 18th century political theories and institutions, the rise of the middling classes, and the evolution of modern warfare. Treatment will be both chronological and thematic, with ample use of films, maps and images to help set the scene for historic events. Three credits.
