A survey of a century of European history marked by destruction and reinvention. The course will be structured around three intertwined themes: 1) the upheavals in the European state system brought about by two catastrophic world wars, the Cold War, and the construction of a European Union; 2) the continent’s shifting relationship with the rest of the world as a result of economic crises and transformations, decolonization, American power, and globalization; and 3) the constant reshaping of European societies and cultures under the influence of these changes in their world.
