HIST 395 - Modern Europe

Credits 4
The past 200 years of European history can be seen as a tragic cycle of revolution and reaction. Unhinged from the traditions of monarchy and church, European societies sought their replacement in total solutions, whether political, cultural or religious. At the same time, prosperity and domination of the earth's resources (both human and material) were never greater. This course will treat both the apex and the depths of this civilization.
