FREN 55.05 France, 1914-1944: from One War to Another

This course will analyze what General Charles de Gaulle used to call “the Thirty Years War.” From the First World War to the German Occupation, we will focus on one of the most dramatic periods of French history. In articles, speeches, diaries, memoirs and films, we will examine its main events, the political choices of the population (coercion and consent, brutalization, pacifism, antifascism, collaboration, attentisme, resistance), social and cultural fields, and questions of memory.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
