European History

From the basic chronology of modern European history to the major milestones, including the Renaissance through the post-Cold War era, this summer course explores the political-diplomatic, social-economic, and intellectual-cultural histories of Europe. Through thought-provoking class discussions, group projects, and independent study, students will draw connections between historical developments throughout the continent, studying both general European history as well as major events in Britain, France, Spain, Russia, the German states, and the Italian states.
