Mod Europe His: The 19th Cent

Catalog description

This course examines European history during what is often referred to as the "long nineteenth century," a period that began with the French Revolution in 1789 and ended with the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Many important changes took place in Europe during this period: everything from industrialization and the creation of the modern nation-state to the great expansion of European power around the globe and emergence of new intellectual movements such as romanticism, liberalism, and nationalism.
