HIS 352 - War, Revolution, and Totalitarianism: Europe 1914-45
This course is an intensive exploration of the collapse of Europe’s old order in war and revolution. The twentieth century began with huge social and technological progress, but it is marked by the wars and revolutions that shook our world between 1914 and 1945. The tensions that led to the First World War (modernization, mass society, naturalism, imperial competition) were unreconciled by that war, and the postwar settlements collapsed in dictatorship and violence, and, eventually, an even more devastating War. The social and political consequences of this traumatic first half of the twentieth century remain with us to this day, as do the hopes and dreams that inspire it.

HIS 354 - Post-War Europe
This course examines the rebuilding and the remarkable revival of Europe after World War Two.

In addition the course will pay special attention to “globalization” of Europe. By the twenty first century the continent, thoroughly changed br decolonization and immigration, has little in common with the Europe of 1945. The course will seek to understand how this transformation happened, and what it means for the future of Europe, democracy, and the world.
