HISTORY 436
Modern German History
|
|
|
This course traces the history of Central Europe from the fall of Bismarck to the reunification of Germany one century later. It will ask students to think critically about the relationship between state and society, elites and 'ordinary' Germans, in the various German-speaking regimes that existed over the course of this era: two empires, two interwar republics, two fascist dictatorships, and three post-fascist republics. All assigned readings will be in English; a background knowledge of European history is recommended. This course follows from HISTORY 435 / HISTORY 535: the contents and assignments will be coordinated, but the former course is not a prerequisite for the latter.
