Courses » HIST 314: Britain and European Relations 1918 – 1945

Description: The Interwar period to the end of the Second World War saw major social, political and cultural changes both inside and outside Britain in response to a global depression, the rise of communism and fascism in Europe and rising nationalism within the Empire. This course will examine the “roaring” twenties, the “hungry” thirties and the rise of Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler on the continent. By 1939, power struggles in Europe, particularly between Germany and other European nations, thrust Britain into a Second World War.
