Quest Courses – Spring 2023 / History and Philosophy / HISTORY OF GERMANY

Coordinators: Caroline Thompson, Steve Allen, Linda Davis

The German people have a long and complex history that has had a profound impact, both good and bad, on all of Europe and on the world. This three-term course examines this political, religious, and cultural history from the time of The Holy Roman Empire in 800 CE up to the current day.

In this third and final term, we will focus on the forces and players that led to the German instigation of two world wars, the Weimar republic, Hitler’s rise to power, and Germany’s role in post-World War II Europe.
