HIS 323I - Enlightenment, French Revolution, and Napoleon, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): One 100-level history course
HIS 323I is an advanced study of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Era. This course follows the philosophical developments of the Enlightenment, many of which formed the rhetorical basis for the events of the French Revolution, which deposed monarchy in favor of a republic. The course will conclude with an examination of the Napoleonic Era, which, in many ways, was an early attempt to create an “United States of Europe” and fostered the rise of nationalism.
