History of Germany

Fall

Winter

Spring

Germany is a totally unique country in the European community, without a period of Roman colonization, without a period of Medieval dynastic unification, without an early modern patriotic movement. It was created as a country even later than was Italy in the 19th century. Our 30-week course will devote Fall Quarter to the period before there were “Germans”, with Romans across the Rhine looking into the dark German forests, the period of Charlemagne, and of the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire. During the Winter Quarter we will explore the Reformation, the Renaissance, and early modern Germany. And during the Spring Quarter we will explore the rush to German unification led by Prussia right to World War I, and Hitler and World War II.
