HIST 3080
History of Post War Germany, from 1945 to the Present

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

This course examines modern Germany in the aftermath of World War II. It compares the experiences of East and West Germany, their state forms and cultures. It explores the collapse of East Germany and the continuing effects of the hurried reunification. The course poses many questions, among them: How did the victorious allies try to administer the defeated land? How did Germans, East and West, try to come to grips with the Nazi past and its crimes? How does one reconstitute civil society after dictatorship and war? How did the communist regime function? Why did it fall? What are the main challenges Germany now faces in building a unified society and in regaining its place as a power in Europe?

When Offered Fall.
