This course studies the history of Europe during a period of
unprecedented conflict and nearly uninterrupted turmoil.
Two world wars, revolutions, social and national
antagonisms, ideological combat, racial hatreds, and
extraordinary political leaders, such as Lenin, Stalin,
Mussolini, Hitler, Churchill, and de Gaulle, determined the
lives and destinies of Europeans during these three intense
and dangerous decades. Very close attention will be given
to the origins, conduct, and consequences of both world
wars; Communism, Fascism and Nazism; and the the crises of
democracy in Britain, France, and Spain.
