HIS 232 20th Century Europe
This survey will examine significant events in European history from 1900
to the end of the twentieth century. The course will cover circumstances
leading to World War I, the rise of fascism, and World War II. The survey
ends with a discussion of the Cold War, its ultimate demise, and nuclear
legacy. Since there was more to the twentieth century than military
history, the class will also consider how European societies reacted to
war and will focus on life on the home front, gender relations, cultural
change, and consumerism. This course is offered some spring semesters.
