| History 5 covers the evolution of Europe from roughly 1500 to the present. The course will revolve around two primary themes: 1) the rise of liberal capitalist democracy, and challenges to that system; and 2) Europe’s relations with the non-European world. Specific topics will include the Renaissance and Reformation, the conquest of the Americas, the rise of the nation-state, industrialization, the great political revolutions of the modern era, imperialism, the two world wars, decolonization, the rise of the welfare state, and the collapse of Soviet-style Communism. The class will approach the subject from a variety of perspectives, including social history, political history, and cultural history. | |||
