HIS 320 Europe after 1914

This course will examine the history of Europe from World War I to the recent past. In this period, Europe went from the height of its power into war, genocide, and division between East and West. Since 1990 and the end of the Cold War, Europe has faced new challenges, including ethnic violence, economic difficulties, multiculturalism, and globalization. Course themes include the problem of war and peace; dictatorship and democracy; racism/genocide and tolerance; the state and the people; East/West divisions; and European integration.
