20th Century Europe.

Catalog description

This course provides an analysis of 20th Century Europe with emphasis on political history. 20th Century was an era of major changes for Europeans. These changes include end of the colonial era and major empires, fall of several long-standing royal houses, rise and fall of Communism, Fascism and Nazism, and two world wars which permanently shifted the power structure of the world. Finally, the last decades of the century saw another dramatic, this time peaceful, transformation in the form of the creation of European Union, a continental unity never before attempted.
