HIST 112 - The French Revolution

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course examines the “big bang”, one of the most explosive, creative, and divisive eras in history. The course traces the contours of revolution and counterrevolution in France, the reaction of other European nations, the outbreak of continental war, the global impact of the revolution, and ongoing debates about its significance: a landmark in the history of human freedom, or the origin of modern totalitarian violence?

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
(Formerly The French Revolution and Napoleon.)
