- Description: This course examines the political, cultural, and societal transformation of Europe in the nineteenth century following the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars and up to the outbreak of World War I. The class will explore these transformations, from the birth of Romanticism, represented in works like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; to the rise of nationalism, reflected in the wars of Italian and German Unification; and the creation of global empires, formed by European powers through diplomacy and conquest. In the aftermath of nearly three decades of continuous war, Europe sought to rebuild itself and prevent future upheaval on the continent, while exploiting its colonial holdings and spreading “civilization.” Students will learn how this period established our modern world and understand how its ideologies like Romanticism, liberalism, communism, and nationalism continue to shape the present.
