Course Description

War and Peace in Modern Europe

Trinity College Dublin



In this module, we discuss how Europe was defined and redefined through war, military occupation, civil conflicts, and peace agreements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Drawing on examples of various—through often interrelated—conflicts, we discuss several major questions: How did international and civil conflicts shape European culture and politics? Why was the twentieth century so violent? How did Europe become divided into ‘right’ and ‘left,’ ‘West’ and ‘East’? How are these conflicts and political extremes remembered or forgotten today?

Comparing writings and films from across the continent, including Britain, Poland, Spain, Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany, we ask how the continental map has changed over a century and whether it is possible to write a single history of Europe.

This course is led by senior trinity academics Dr. Molly Pucci and Dr. Patrick Houlihan.
