View Course Details
This course covers the origins of Europe from a political perspective. We observe how Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, Great Britain, and France competed against each other to increase their power over Europe in a real-life game of thrones. Topics include key aspects of government models from absolutism to republicanism, economic systems related to capitalism, war and diplomacy, artistic politics from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, and social control from court elites to Jewish ghettos.
