HIST 96.22 Nazism: Culture, Society, War

This seminar will explore the origins, nature, and consequences of Nazism. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, we will discuss: what were the ideological, social, and political origins of the Nazi movement? How did it succeed in mobilizing so many Germans, and what were the characteristics of the regime it created? How and why did it unleash war and genocide? Alongside reading and discussions, students will also conduct independent research on a related topic.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
