Modern Europe, 1848-1945

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the main patterns of European history in the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries and the interaction between the economic, social, political and cultural factors that shaped that history. The module covers a broad range of topics from political, social, intellectual and cultural history and will introduce the students to a variety of historiographical approaches to these themes. Importantly, Europe is understood in the broad sense of the word and includes all major European Empires and nation-states after the end of the First World War.
