Description:

This course explores Europe’s tumultuous history during the past century. Over the course of the semester, we will study important moments, stories, groups and individuals from this period, and try to understand why Europeans fought two devastating wars within thirty years, wars that reshaped modern world history. We will explore Europe’s gradual recovery from war and the paths it has taken toward unification and democratization. We will pay significant attention to the histories of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom and some attention to Eastern Europe and Russia/the Soviet Union. We will also look at Europe’s global role, especially its imperial and colonial legacies, as well as the construction of the European Union.
