Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Requirements: Prerequisite: Course not open to Freshmen
Examines the pivotal role the country of France has played in the development of modernity. The consequences of the French Revolution and the reign of Napoleon are active still today as are the consequences of two world wars in this last century-wars in which France’s vital significance cannot be ignored. The rise and fall of France as a significant world power will necessarily be an essential theme examined in this course. Also, there will be an analysis of France’s formidable intellectual and cultural contributions to the shaping of modernity. Here, France continues to play a most important role.
