Description
of the Course: Few nations in modern history have experienced such dramatic
change as Great Britain. Over the last 300 years, the British people have pushed
through numerous political reforms and witnessed enormous economic and social
transformations while winning and losing the greatest empire in the history
of the world. Although many of these changes have taken place with a minimum
of violence, they have imposed heavy strains on existing ideas and institutions
that often threatened to fracture the British nation along ethnic, class, religious,
racial, and gender lines. In this course, we will survey the important changes
that have taken place in Britain since 1688 and investigate the manner in which
they have influenced the forces that have shaped the character of the British
nation.
Topics Covered Include: Glorious Revolution, the Scottish rebellions of 1715 and 1745, the American Revolution, Ireland, the Industrial Revolution, the Victorians, World War I, World War II, and Britain's empire.
