HSTY 215 - Europe in the 20th Century

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

The twentieth century has seen stupendous transformations in the internal structures of European politics, economics, society, and culture and in Europe's place in the world. This course traces Europe's transition from a continent of sovereign nation-states or empires ruled by monarchs with starkly hierarchical social structures, through wars, revolution, dictatorships, destruction, division, and destitution, to a conflicted present. The contradictory combination of peace, freedom, and pluralism combined with cultural critique of the very consumer society that has reduced conflict challenges students' linear notions of historical development.
