An analysis of Europe during the interwar period and the Second World War. Topics will include the aftermath of the First World War, the rise of totalitarian regimes, and the origins and course of the Second World War.

This course provides a survey of European history from the end of World War I through the end of World War II. The two primary themes of the course will be: 1) the economic breakdown between the world wars, and 2) the failure of diplomacy in the 1930s to deal with the emergence of various aggressive dictatorships.
The course will make full use of local/regional resources as well as local speakers.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.
