HIST 33604 - France In World War I And World War II

This class considers the history of French society, culture, and politics through participation in the First and Second World Wars. While WWI and WWII affected millions of people around the globe, France held a unique position in that in addition to the fighting, French civilians lived under harsh occupation in both world wars.  This course explores the French experiences during the two world wars, considering the war experience from diverse perspectives, including those of soldiers, civilians, men, women, collaborators, resisters, and France’s imperial subjects.  While the class is centered on the two world wars, it is not a military history course; rather, the course focuses on society and culture and how the war experiences shaped France, the French Empire, and its people.  Along with the war experience, students will consider the shifting view of war as it was being anticipated, fought, and remembered.
