HIST 142 - Europe II: Postwar

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

History

Description:

This course investigates Europe as a series of nesting postwar orders. In the 20th century, Europeans seemed fated to living after one, or another, existential and catastrophic conflict: World War I, World War II and the Cold War. Each of these conflicts represented a series of inflection points pointing to contradictions in existing order-between labor and capital, empire and nation, state and society-as Europeans struggled to design, establish, and live in a modern good society. We will trace the development of these visions, dreams, and nightmares, and think through what it means to live after the fall.
