HIS 100 - Introduction to Historical Methods: Germany, East and West

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

This gateway seminar will examine the history of post-WWII Germany from the perspective of its unique geo-political position, stranded in the middle of the Cold War confrontation between capitalist west and communist east. Starting with the final years of the war and the joint effort of both eastern and western powers to destroy Hitler's Germany, we will continue through the period of Germany's devision and re-unification after 1989, concluding with current controversies over the role Germany should take in international conflicts. We will consider, first, the political dimensions of Germany's unique situation, and second, the cultural responses and social consequences. Course material will include novels, films, memoirs, and historical accounts.
