Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to draw attention to the most important issues and problems in the general history of the 19th century and also to suggest some possible explanations which are in harmony with the results of historical research. The 19th century can be a key to understanding a number of problems in the 20th century! European and North American society liberalizes further - an increasingly broader segment enjoys civil rights of all types, however modern nationalism also appears. The Industrial Revolution fundamentally alters the life style of the population. As a result, on one hand (as a result of the productivity of work, social pressures and other factors) there is a certain improvement in the quality of life, but on the other hand, there are numerous indications of a worsening standard of living and the technical foundation for an unprecedented level of destruction. The destiny of the world is also influenced by new powers - the constantly growing influence of the USA and the later inclusion of Japan, etc. The History of the Modern Era II includes the period beginning with the events of 1848/49 and ends with the First World War. Czech history of the modern era is understood in the broader context of the Habsburg monarchy and its foreign politics during the period. Special attention is given to the question of nationality understood in the broader sense and to the struggle for democratic rights and the political emancipation of all social levels.
Graduates gain a foundation for understanding the historical process in this period and the basis for understanding other developmental phases and are thus better prepared from further study.
