From nationalism, politics, protest movements and conflicts, students will take an in-depth look at revolutions in America, France and Russia, gaining an understanding of the range of factors that influence their outcome.
What is a revolution? Are they similar? Are they predictable? Revolutions provide some of the most exciting and pivotal moments in political history. From nationalism, politics, protest movements and conflicts, students will gain a crucial overview of essential political change and its varied forms. They will debate ideas, question why some revolutions become more violent than others and develop confidence in applying these ideas to the present day, as well as looking forward to the future. Discussing revolutions in America, France and Russia, students will not only gain a wider understanding of an uprising, but they will learn about examples from different countries across the world. This course is recommended for any students who may want to pursue history or politics at university.
