Description:

This class examines the history of Central Europe from the end of the Napoleonic Wars to Adolf Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. Special emphasis will be afforded to social/cultural history. Such an approach best allows students to understand how the rise of the middle class, industrialization, the beginnings of democracy, and modernism impacted society politically, economically, and as a whole. From all of Central Europe's nation-states, this course will closely explore the history of the German people and state during this time. Trying to understand why and how Fascism/Nazism was attractive to Germans and others in Central Europe will be critical. Students will show understanding of the material through class discussion, group projects, written assignments based on critical core readings and library research, and examinations. Lecture, discussion, and group projects-research. Prereq: PSY/SOC 220 or ANTH/HIST/POLS/PSY/SOC 221 and ANTH/HIST/POLS/PSY/SOC 222, or c/i. (fall/odd-numbered years)
