HIST 2243 – Europe in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

(3 credits – TG) 3 hours lecture

This course examines the history of Europe between 1789 and 1989. This period is distinguished by transformations in virtually every area of human life; the creation and destruction of a European dominated world order; the rise, spread and collapse of communism; increasingly destructive spasms of organized violence; and ongoing efforts at collective identity formation.
