Section Description
Section Description: This course examines German history from the unification of the German lands (1871) to German reunification in 1990. It addresses the major events and forces that have shaped Germany in the last hundred years, and their interpretation by historians. We will begin by considering the political, social, and cultural life of Imperial Germany, and the origins of World War I. We will then examine the first German Republic (1918-33), the rise of National Socialism, and the Nazi dictatorship. In May 1945, Nazi rule came to an end. Having unleashed a brutal war of conquest, and having perpetrated murder on a massive scale, Germany stood morally bankrupt. The course will then turn to a discussion of the two German states that emerged from the rubble and came to embody the postwar division of the world into the two hostile blocs of the Cold War. In the final week of the semester, we will look at the process of German reunification (1990). Please note: this is not a military history course. Concentration: Europe (HI02)
