The 20th century has been described as an “Age of Extremes,” when Europe became a “Dark Continent” in which the rival forces of liberal democracy, fascism and communism fought for domination. While fascism was ultimately defeated in 1945, and European communism fell in 1989-91, the victory of democracy was not inevitable: the “totalitarian temptation” was often present and may still lurk in various parts of the world today. This course explores Europe’s 20th century by focusing on the major events that spawned Italian Fascism, German National Socialism, Bolshevism, and Stalinism, and the political, social, economic and cultural consequences of these new ideologies. Provide a comparative approach to three models of totalitarian regimes, underlining their similarities and their differences Address the concept of “totalitarianism,” and questions whether it is a useful and accurate means of explaining and understanding the horrors inflicted by authoritarian regimes in the 20th century, or whether it is an outdated product of the Cold War.
