HI 333 - Europe since 1945

Devastated and impoverished in 1945, Europe lay in the shadow of the United States and the Soviet Union. Although the last sixty years have presented terrible challenges, the European people have experienced a remarkable regeneration during this period. This course will investigate this regeneration and contemplate the various difficulties Europe faced and continues to face today. Topics covered will include the Cold War, the postwar “economic miracle,” Communist rule in Eastern Europe, European unification, immigration, and the Revolutions of 1989.

Four credits.
