Excerpt: ... 1 History of Modern Spain, 1814-Present Winter 2008 Professor Radcliff HSS 6070 Ext.48919 Modern Spain has held a troubled place in European history . After the country's international domination in the 16th century, it slipped out of the mainstream of European history books and onto the margins. It reappeared briefly in the European historical narrative in the 1930s when Spain suffered a brutal Civil War that seemed to epitomize the political turmoil of the interwar period. Only the recent democratic transition finally erased the longstanding image of "difference" that consigned Spain to a couple of footnotes in the "big picture" of European history . This course will argue that Modern Spanish history should be fully integrated into the larger European framework, from where the differences and similarities with other countries can be analyzed. Thus, the central problematic for Spain, as for the rest of Europe during the previous two centuries, will be the origins, shape and consequences of the dramatic transfo ...

Excerpt: ... author of "The Chalice & The Blade," claims that such societies existed from the beginning of the agricultural revolution until around 5000-3000 BCE when they were conquered by invaders. In "Becoming Visible: Women in European History ," Barbara S. Lesko identifies Ancient Egypt with both a difference in values and a difference in attitudes toward women (Lesko in Bridenthal, 41). Unlike the position of women in most other ancient civilizations, including that of Greece, the Egyptian woman seems to have enjo yed the same legal and economic rights as the Egyptian man. ".[W]omen were as much citizens as men, and indeed shared equal legal rights. Women were fully independent legal personalities and never needed a legal guardian or cosignatory to enter into any ac tivity such as selling or buying property, adopting, suing, or freeing slaves" (18). In addition, high infant and child mortality gave enormous importance to the fertility of women. A fertile woman was a successful woman. Motherhood, considered a great ...

Do you find this convincing? What were the most significant changes it brought about? What, if any, aspects of politics, culture, or society remained largely unchanged after the war? 3. Some historians characterize the first half of the 20th century as the great age of nationalism in Europe. Is this an accurate description? What did nationalism and national identity mean for people living at the time? What forces worked to cultivate or intensify nationalism and national identity? What served to mitigate it or provide a more powerful alternate source of identity? If you accept this description, are there any important geographic, chronological, or other qualifications (based on our readings) that you would make to it? 4.

Excerpt: ... History 120: Questions for Week Two (Paine and Burke) 1. What are Paine and Burke respectively arguing for and against? What are their fundamental disagreements? Do they agree about anything at all? 2. A constant theme in both of the writings is, simply put, old vs. new, tradition vs. change. Where does each stand on this? Do the authors take only one side or do they at times lean on each? 3. What kind of distinction does Paine draw within civil rights, between the natural rights one keeps for him/her self, and the rights one invests in society? Why is this distinction so crucial for the revolutionaries? 4. Which of the rights that Paine outlines (and that appear in the Declaration of the Rights of Man) sound familiar to us? Are the priorities here the same priorities we have in our own constitution, laws, and liberties in the United States? 5. What themes of Paine, particularly in his conclusion, find their echo in the later events of modern European history all the way up to the present? 6. What political d ...

Excerpt: ... importance, particularly as the power of the state increased. Be certain that you are familiar with the various ways in which the church sought to maintain its independence from the state. The Middle Ages has often been thought of as synonymous with the "Dark Ages" which suggests a period in which little of importance occurred. Hopefully, you have seen that this is not the case. Identify some important trends in politics, philosophy, economics, and religion that survived the feudal age and shaped the development of early modern European history . In this context, you should pay considerable attention to the rise of the medieval universities, how they originated, what they taught, and how some traditions have been passed down to the present. Be sure you understand how the 9-10 century invasions affected Europe and how they, coupled with the earlier Slavic incursions, helped to establish the ethnic foundations of early modern Europe. In this regard you should know which groups settled where, noting the division ...
