Inhoud

This course offers a textbook based introduction to the political, economic, social and cultural history of Europe covering the period ranging from the French revolution to the Second  World War. T.C.W. Blanning’s History of Modern Europe (Oxford University Press) published in 2001 will be taken as the point of departure in the treatment of facts and events. Relying also on extracts from other history textbooks and primary texts, the course will describe key moments in modern European history and will offer analytical insights into the underlying causes to the fundamental (political, social, economic and cultural) transformations Europe underwent during the so-called “long 19th century”. Urbanisation, industrialisation, democratisation, migration, the emergence of nation-states, imperialism and the development of mass politics were the processes that marked European history most distinctively in this period.
