HIST 389. Revolution and Radical Change in Modern Europe


Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 014589 Grading Basis GRD

This course covers the turbulent history of revolution and radical political change in modern Europe, beginning with the French Revolution of 1789 and ending with the overthrow of the communist dictatorships in Central-Eastern Europe near the end of the twentieth century. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of the causes, chronologies and outcomes of modern Europe’s many political revolutions. We will also examine how revolutions have—at times—generated tremendous social, economic and/or cultural change.
