**Modern European History (260-H) (Offered Even Years)
1 Credit
Grade 12
Prerequisite: World Civilization and U.S. History
Modern European History is an investigation of the revolution of Western Civilization, beginning with the Renaissance and ending with the present. Our American society is based on a European foundation, and in order to more fully understand the development of the United States and “modernity” it is essential to complete the study of Europe after the Middle Ages. It is because of Europe that our world has changed from a collection of “traditional” societies to a transitional global culture, due in great part to the power of Europe’s influence and ideas in creating the United States.
