HISTORY 30C.: MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY: Instructor: Bruce Thompson
The best of times, the worst of times.... It was a century of extraordinary technological advances and, for many Europeans, of unprecedented prosperity. But it would have been difficult to guess in 1900 that Europe in the twentieth century would be devastated by two disastrous wars, that the socialist dream would issue in tragedy and failure, and that state-sponsored terror, torture, and genocide would appear in the heart of the continent. And who would have predicted, before 1989, that the Soviet Union and its satellites would collapse so completely and ignominiously? As we enter a new century, it is now possible to place these great and often terrible events in historical perspective. Drawing on historical texts, memoirs, literature, and the visual arts, History 30C offers a survey of European history from the outbreak of war in 1914 to the present.
