    At the end of World War II, European states still controlled vast overseas empires, which very soon afterwards disappeared. This course examines how the decolonization of these empires shaped political, cultural and intellectual events and developments in Europe’s recent past. We will focus on Great Britain and France, the two most important imperial states, but also look at other countries that lost their empires in these years, such as the Netherlands and Portugal. We will think about why empire was so important to these countries as well as why their political leaders and historians sought to erase this importance. Our topics will range from efforts to redefine foreign relations after empire to “post-colonial” immigration and the emergence of “multicultural” European nation-states. We will look at the cultural effects of immigration and how European political activists drew inspiration from anti-colonial movements.
