The post World War II period from 1945 to the present was a distinct period in European history since it was the time when a divided Europe lost its global hegemony and two military alliances, controlled by the Soviet Union and the USA dominated its foreign policy. The goal of the course is to examine the political, social, cultural, and economic history of Europe after 1945. Particular attention will be devoted to several themes: the Cold Ear and the division of Europe; the rise of mass consumer society and the “Americanization” of Europe; the development of the welfare state; decolonization and immigration; the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and the rise of virulent nationalism; the development of the European Union and its future as a united geopolitical entity.
