SEM
The two World Wars have defined the twentieth century and shaped national relations of power to this day. This seminar examines France's role in these two world conflicts, beginning with France's position of strength in the early 20th century to the consequences of its defeat in 1940. We will focus on the social, cultural and political life of France in the first half of the twentieth century, as well as the experience of war for both men and women in France. Students will write a substantial research paper on a related topic of their choice.
