Note: Students who have taken HIST 397C may not take this course for further credit.

HIST 3174 credits
European Diplomacy and Crisis: 1919-1939
Prerequisite(s): HIST 210 (formerly HIST 111) and either six additional credits of lower-level history or 42 additional university-level credits.
This course examines the international relations between European states from the end of the Great War to the beginning of the Second World War. This period witnessed the conflict between the illusionary hopes of the democratic victors of the Great War set against the revisionist ambitions of the dictators Mussolini, Stalin, Franco, and Hitler. In a context of repeated economic crises, heightened social expectations, and political discord, European statesmen pursued often divergent foreign policies that seemed to lead inescapably to war. When British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain raised his ‘piece of paper’ and proclaimed that a lasting peace had been established in September, 1938, it was the last gasp of an illusion that the Great War had been the ‘war to end all wars’.

The Holocaust

This course examines how the Nazi regime, along with its European collaborators, attempted to restructure Germany and Europe according to racial criteria that involved the relocation and murder of entire populations. The course examines this attack on civilians in the context of war, as the Nazi drive to “purify” the German race and expand its living space led the Nazi leadership to unleash a total war on their European neighbors. Due to the fact that the horrific campaign required the backing or at least silence of millions of ordinary Europeans, our discussion will involve the mindsets of perpetrators, bystanders, and beneficiaries. The course ends with a discussion of the ongoing commemoration of the Holocaust and the contemporary relevance of this event.

HIST 3214 credits
Canadian Military History
Prerequisite(s): Nine credits of lower-level history or 45 university-level credits.

The approach to this subject will be multi-faceted, with students examining the perspective of the private soldier as well as the general, the home front as well as the battle front, and peace-time as well as war-time.

This course explores the changing make-up of the Canadian Family, from pre-settlement First Nations and their transformations to the future of the Canadian family. Key to this exploration is female fertility in Canada. Female fertility emerges out of the intersection of biological, ecological, economic, and cultural-historical factors, and in turn drives the culture in significant ways. The course also pays careful attention to the impact of social forces such as race, class, age, and religion in shaping hegemonic and resistant definitions of ‘family’ in Canada and how these have been reinforced and contested, through legal, discursive, and social arenas. Of particular concern are the impact of industrialization and the emergence of the Canadian welfare state as a system of family regulation and assimilation.

This course will examine Americans’ responses to the Great Depression and World War II, and the transformative impact that these two national and international crises had on American society. It will explore the New Deal’s assertion of state responsibility for the economic welfare of its citizens, and the limited and contested nature of that fundamental shift in American political culture. America’s initially ambivalent response to the world conflict and the full-scale engagement that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor will be scrutinized for what they reveal of Americans’ changing conceptions of their role in the world and in international alliances. Finally, the impact that the war had on definitions of national citizenship will be examined, with special attention to the heightened patriotic rhetoric that supported mobilization for war, and the experience of women and racial/religious minorities.
