In 1914, several European nations dominated much of the world through vast overseas empires in which they exercised military, political, and economic power. This course explores the decline, fall, and slow return of the "new Europe" by examining the history of Europe from World War I to the present. It considers the decline of Europe brought about by two devastating wars, and the crucial impact of war and genocide in shaping European politics, society, and culture; the place of Europe in the Cold War; and the European retreat from empire in the post-war era.

This course studies the contrasting patterns of colonization in the New World, as this hemisphere was once termed by Europeans. Traditionally, such comparative studies have focused on the cultural differences among the European colonizers-the English, the French, the Spanish, and so on. As the different groups confronted and dealt with each other in the 16th and 17th centuries, they established widely varying patterns of living that would impact the histories of their descendents for generations to come.

Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries was radically transformed. Not only were the political structures and the political culture of resurgent Gaeldom destroyed, but religious loyalties consolidated new Irish identities as Protestantism-in the form of new waves of settlers and new flurries of English governmental interventions-obliterated inherited distinctions and divisions and defined all Roman Catholics as the enemy.

Around 1500, England was an overwhelmingly agrarian society dominated by crown and aristocracy; by 1700, political power had been redistributed by revolution while commercialization, "science" and empire-building were well under way. Through lecture and discussion, and through readings in a variety of autobiographical and other writings, including some of the great works of literature, we examine how contemporaries sought to shape, or to come to terms with, their world.

This course examines the often-explosive relations between religious faith and political power in 16th- and 17th-century England: a time of the conquest of Ireland; the burning of martyrs; the hanging of witches and puritan experiments in New and old England. It explores the painful process by which a general commitment to religious unity and coercion eroded to allow space to the individual conscience.

3.00 Credits
This course explores manners of thinking about the self in early-modern Europe, (ca. 1400-1800). During this period, the human person was not regarded as a static category; rather, men and women formulated multiple ways of being a self in relation to God, the state, the family, and other persons in society. Discussion revolves around autobiographical writings as well as a selection of theological, philosophical, and literary works.

3.00 Credits
This course examines French history since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. It looks at the creation of an enduring republic (the Third Republic, the first lasting republic in the history of the European great powers) and the shaping of republican institutions up to the present day. The course focuses on political history, with special attention to social, economic, and religious history, as distinguished from the cultural and intellectual.
