Subject Description: | A survey of the political, social, economic and cultural development of Germany from the 1848 Revolution through the catastrophe of World War I. The subject will explore the controversial contention that modern German history has followed a Sonderweg, a peculiar historical path which helps to explain in part the fateful emergence in the twentieth century of Nazism and the Third Reich. Topics will include: the 1848 Revolution, the development of industrial capitalism and a class society, Bismarck and the unification of Germany, the nature of the Second Reich, the invention of German nationalism, bourgeois culture and the counter-culture, the creation of the German working class, the status of women, German imperialism and world policy, the course and impact of World War I, and the collapse of Imperial Germany. | |
Assessment: | One primary source analysis of 1000 words (20%), one book review of 2000 words (35%) and one reflective essay of 2000 words (35%), plus 10% for tutorial participation. | |
