Description:

In 1914, several European nations dominated much of the world through vast overseas empires in which they exercised military, political, and economic power. This course explores the decline, fall, and slow return of the "new Europe" by examining the history of Europe from World War I to the present. It considers the decline of Europe brought about by two devastating wars, and the crucial impact of war and genocide in shaping European politics, society, and culture; the place of Europe in the Cold War; and the European retreat from empire in the post-war era.
