- Class Description:
- This course covers British history from the 17th century, a dramatic era beginning with the Civil War and the execution of Charles I. Britain then entered the convulsions of the industrial revolution and the burgeoning and rebellious Atlantic world. During the 19th century, Britain became a superpower, the most wealthy and powerful nation, complacent in its Victorian values and confident it could rule the world. After all, the sun never set on the British empire. But during the 20th century, the colossus faltered, after the disillusionment of the first world war and the devastating depression. Heroism returned with the Battle of Britain, but after World War II, Britain lost its empire. However, Britain rebuilt, establishing a welfare state which guaranteed health care to all, and regenerating its prosperity. We will take the story up to the present, looking at Thatcher'ss rise and fall, and the rebirth of multicultural Cool Britannia. For more information write clark106@tc.umn.edu.
