This course will discuss major themes and questions in German history from the late 19C into the 21C, including "modernity" and “modernization”; continuities and ruptures; German identities; and the connections of the German past to its present, as a nation-state and as a central power in the "new Europe." We will examine and compare scholarly interpretations of this history, sharpen skills in analyzing primary sources (texts, visual images, etc.) critically and analytically, and consider what meaning German history has for us and why we should care about it.
