Violence, Population Politics, and Total War in the East European Borderlands: World War I and Its Aftermath
This course discusses the East European borderlands during and after World War I from a comparative, regional and pan-European perspective. It seeks to bridge the long-standing “East-West” divide that is still dominant in current curricula and to offer an integrated and entangled vision of European history during World War I and its aftermath.
