This course will cover the major social, political, economic, and
military-diplomatic developments in Europe from the turn of the
century until the eve of the second World War (1936).  The central
focus of the course will be World War I, its origins, immediate
effects, and long-term consequences.  Some of the specific topics that
will be dealt with are:  the prewar social and political crisis in
Europe, the destruction of the traditional European order as a result
of World War I, the emergence of communism and fascism following the
War, and the Great Depression.  Lectures and occasional classroom
discussion will be supplemented by weekly readings.  Formal
requirements consist of two midterm examinations (one in-class and one
take-home) and a final.
