Course Description:
A part of Eastern Europe, but also not, the Balkans experienced the major events of the 20th Century in their own way. This course will follow the Balkans from the infamous assassination in 1914, through the founding of Yugoslavia, World War II and Holocaust, the Third Way of Communism under Tito, and finally the genocide and war that dissolved the country. While the focus of the course will be on Yugoslavia, other Balkan nations will also be discussed. Sources include scholarly texts, memoirs and film.
