Transfers ToCSUDescriptionDescription: A survey of the developments that have shaped Europe's political, economic, social and cultural development since 1900, with emphasis on European and world relationships since 1750. Major topics will include the Enlightenment, the French and Haitian Revolutions, the Nineteenth-Century Revolutions, the rise of science and technology, the effects on Europe of the World Wars and the power blocks, along with the reason for current European attitudes. The course will discuss historical debates on where the limits of Europe have been drawn over time, how Europe has written itself, and been characterized by others. We will also consider identity, knowledge, religion, and how change can be possible, positive, and long-lasting in various historical contexts. We will also explore disasters and potential “modernities gone wrong”: Colonization/Imperialism, two World Wars, Fascism, Genocide(s), and the Cold War in a divided Europe. We will emphasize historical method, read primary and secondary sources, and in dialogic lectures discuss the debates regarding the European past tied up in questions of knowledge, philosophy, and politics up until the present day. 54.00 hours lecture. (Letter grade or Pass/No Pass option)
