Section Information for Spring 2017

Of all the many forces buffeting the countries of Eastern Europe in the 20th century, none has been more important to the shaping of the history of this region than nationalism. In this course we will focus on four historical periods -- the creation of new national states in the early 20th century, the Fascist period (1925-1945), the Communist era (1945-1989) and the years since the collapse of the Communist regimes in 1989. By concentrating on the history of nationalism in the region, we will be able to examine the cultural, political, economic, and religious history of the peoples of Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Romania, and Bulgaria.
