3 hours No nations history was more consequential in shaping twentieth-century events than Germanys. Even before the First World War, German industrial might, combined with the nations volatile politics and vibrant culture, cast deepening shadows across Europe. In the world wars to follow, Germanys vaunted military was central to the titanic clashes that, by 1945, had decisively recast world power relations as well as Europe's territorial divisions. Central to Germany's twentieth century, of course, is the Nazi era, a time of unparalleled horror and persecution that, to this day, challenges our capacity for rational explanation. And the twelve years that made up Hitlers Thousand Year Reich provide this course its narrative fulcrum and central interpretive challenges. Yet these questions cannot be answered by reference to the Nazi years alone and, for that reason, we start our story with Germany on the eve of World War I, carrying it through the endphases of World War II into the dawn of the Cold War. In plotting this journey, textbooks and lectures provide indispensable roadmaps. But the greater part of this course will be address primary source materials from the years 1914 to 1949 ranging from press controversies to political tracts, from police reports to private memoirs as we examine the perpetrators, victims, bystanders and opponents who make up this story. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
