Description
In this course students will witness how monarchies and rational thinking emerge from the ashes and anarchy of the troubled times of the 1600s. Students will study revolutions in science, industry, and politics, as well as experience Romanticism and Realism in the arts. Students will see the forces unleashed by new ideologies and economic dynamics that will redraw the map not only of Europe, but eventually the entire world. The course will then move to the extremes of the Twentieth Century, the carnage of world wars, and the emergence of a new age of prosperity and conflict in the Twenty- First Century. Placement at ENG 101 level strongly advised.
