This is the second course of Specialisation 5: Europe: Integration and Disintegration
(English track International Relations/History).

This course focuses primarily on the disintegration of Europe, during the first half of the twentieth century in particular. This was the period encompassing the two world wars, both of which began on the European continent and slowly but surely spread out across the world. This research seminar takes an in-depth look at the causes, connections and comparisons of these two wars, but also at the other types of political violence (revolutions, civil war, ethnic cleansing) that coloured these fifty years. The course gives students an understanding of the history and historiography of this radical period and educates them in the analysis of (primary) sources. The research skills thus obtained are then used to conduct independent research, which concludes the course.

Early Exit option (5 ECTS)
 
Exchange students who are required to return to their home university before January, are allowed to choose an Early Exit option for this course. The Early Exit option means that students can finish the course before Christmas break, receiving 5 ECTS for the course.
