Learning outcomes

The subject of the discipline is a more detailed discussion of the problems of modern history, in which emphasis is placed on the comparative analysis of various aspects of historical develpment in time and space, while necessarily defining the interrelationships and (causal) dependencies of the phenomena and events under study. During the course, the student will be introduced to key moments in European and world history from the onset of the Reformation to the outbreak of the Great French Revolution, the development of culture and thought, and the basic interpretive procedures of modern historigraphy.
The student will gain the ability to understand sources from the period and will be able to answer questions opened by their presentation in the seminars. In the course of the lectures, the student will noc only learn to navigate the period, but will also be introduced to the contemporary overlap of some issues that may lead up to today?s events, such as the role of the state, the issue of the colonies, etc.
