The aim of the course is to present the fundamental aspects of global development from the end of World War I to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and subsequent events. The ZS traces the disintegration of traditional European powers, the rise of totalitarian ideologies and, in connection with this, the emergence of totalitarian or autocratic states, as well as the weakening influence of democratic states - both as a result of internal problems and as a result of the post-war and especially the Great Depression.
The student demonstrates knowledge of the facts and key phenomena of general modern history from 1918-1953. The student is oriented to the causes and consequences of major events that influenced historical development. The student is familiar with the basic literature on the period under study and is able to critically interpret the described phenomena.
