HIST 2742 - EUROPEAN EMPIRES: IMPERIAL FORMATIONS AND POST-IMPERIAL SPACES FROM 1848 TO THE PRESENT


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is designed to complement both chronologically and geographically the course Seas, Peoples, Empires. If the latter focuses on Western and Northern Europe's maritime empires and their expansion into the Atlantic and Pacific worlds, European Empire and Post-Imperial Spaces is mostly interested in the land empires of Central and Eastern Europe (German Reich, Austria-Hungary, Russian Empire/Soviet Union) as well as their post-imperial spaces from the March Revolution of 1848 to Russia's current war against Ukraine. The course goes beyond the established canon of the history of empire by also discussing imperial formations at unexpected places, such as the imperial ambitions of smaller nations like Poland and Czechoslovakia, or the imperial legacy that might shape the European Union and its politics in Africa and Eastern Europe.
