| HIST 106 |
| Title: | European Civilization to Present |
| Catalog Description: | Survey of the development of Western civilization from 1648 to the present. [H*] |
| My Comments: | History 106 is a survey of the history of Western Civilization from the first appearance of the so-called “New Monarchies” of Western European around 1500 to the end of the Cold War in the late twentieth century. It covers the development of a unique civilization -- one that built upon the developments introduced into medieval European society, such things as the origins of the strong centralized state, the power and authority of the institutional Christian Church, and the rise of a more secular society during the Italian Renaissance. We will look at changes in European government, religion, society and intellectual life brought about by such events as the Protestant Reformation, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the growth of such concepts as nationalism, communism and liberalism, the Russian Revolution, the two world wars and the Cold War. |
