An examination of Europe from prehistory to 1815. This course will emphasize continent-wide developments and ideas, including the origins of European civilization in the ancient Near East, the civilizations of the Bronze Age, the Iron Age civilizations, the rise of Greek civilization including the development of Greek identity, the Hellenistic world, the rise and fall of Rome, the rise of Islam, and the Byzantine Empire.

Furthermore, we will also pay attention to the ethics (i.e., values and morals) of European history that have shaped both individual and socially-held beliefs and the formal and informal systems of belief from multiple viewpoints, including historical viewpoints by marginalized groups of people such as the Sami people in Sweden.

Metas de aprendizaje
This class has two specific goals. One is to provide you with basic factual knowledge of the history of Europe and its people. Just as important, however, is the ability to use this information productively. Thus, this class will also stress the ability to integrate the factual data into a basic understanding of Europe’s past and present. Rote memorization is not as important as the ability to produce and evaluate arguments based on historical evidence.

Orientación para padres
The study of European history deals with some sensitive topics in history such as civil wars, wars, and slavery. I take great care to present the content in an age-appropriate manner.

Fuentes
There are many sources that are used for teaching European history in this course. Dr. Brezina studied various primary and secondary sources (articles, books, dissertations, etc.) during his years as a teacher and professor of history that will allow him to interpret European history objectively and address the full range of a variety of peoples' histories, including marginalized populations. For example, Dr. Brezina will draw from these books,
Europe: A History by Norman Davies, The Birth of Classical Europe by Simon Price and Peter Thonemann, The Inherence of Rome by Chris Wickham, Europe in the High Middle Ages by William Chester Jordan, Renaissance Europe by Anthony Grafton, How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline D. Pennock, Blacks in Russia History by Allison Blakely, all of which are commonly used as objective and multi-cultural history textbooks in U.S. higher education. Furthermore, Dr. Brezina will use various primary sources such as the Digital Library of Classic Texts, Eurodocs Documents for Western Europe, French Revolution Digital Archive and Gallica - the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. (However, Dr. Brezina does not require students to purchase or use these books.)
