Co-Located: HIST 208-1 (P), HIST 208W-1
Instructors: Matthew Lenoe
Delivery Mode: In-Person
Description: In this class we will compare the French Revolution (1789-1815), the Japanese Meiji Revolution (usually called in English 'the Restoration') of 1868-1890, the Mexican Revolution (1910-1924), and the Russian Revolution (1917-1937). We will examine such questions as: To what extent did particular social groups drive each of these revolutions? To what extent did each of these revolutions begin with a simple collapse of the state? Were new ideologies/ideas important in bringing on each revolution? How important were efforts 'from below' and 'from above' ( i.e. by established elites and/or new state apparatuses) in determining the outcome of each revolution? Do modern revolutions tend to follow a common course, as Crane Brinton has argued, or are they 'sui generis'?
Offered: Fall Spring
