Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this course we will explore the Baltic Sea region, and trace Northern Europe's history from the age of the Vikings to the post-Soviet re-union in 1991. We will study the history of this region and its diverse language communities: Scandinavians, Finns, Balts, Slavs and Germans. We will discuss how the Baltic Sea region was shaped by several European powers, in particular Denmark, Sweden, Poland-Lithuania, Russia, Prussia, and Germany. The course will cover the history of Northern Europe over the course of the last 1,000 years, including the Vikings, the Hanseatic League, the Reformation, the Thirty Years War, the Nordic Wars, the Enlightenment, Nordic Romanticism, the Russian Revolution, the two World Wars, the Cold War, and the renewal of the Baltic Sea region as a unified trading space after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
