Description: The emphasis of this class is on what some observers refer to as the “German Century,” the period between 1890 and 1990 when Germany emerged as the most modern, the most revolutionary, and the most belligerent nation-state in Europe. Germany was the site of extraordinary cultural innovation and often lethal political experimentation, it was the major protagonist in two world wars, and it remained an important economic powerhouse throughout this period. The course will track the political, social, and cultural developments from the empire of Wilhelm II to the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the division of Germany in the Cold War, and finally the reunification of the “Berlin Republic.”
