HIST 141 - Europe I: 19th Cent. 1789-1914

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

History

Description:

This course covers the history of Europe from the violence and tumult of the "dual revolutions" - the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution - to the horror of the First World War. We will devote most of our attention to the historical experiences of people in Britain, France, Germany and Italy, and we will look some at other European countries and regions, especially the Russian, Habsburg, and Ottoman Empire. Throughout the class we will examine issues that shaped European experience in the nineteenth century based on four key themes: revolution, nation- building, empire, and war. We will spend time reading about and discussing the nineteenth-century's major developments: industrialization, labor movements, ideologies such as liberalism and socialism, urbanization and technology, disease and epidemics, the emergence of mass culture and politics, and the expansion of European power across the globe.
