This module, which follows on from HY353, analyses the Peace of Westphalia and its impact on the Holy Roman Empire during the era of mounting tension between Prussia and Austria until it’s final dissolution in 1806. We then examine subsequent portrayals of the Empire from German, Austrian, Central European and European perspectives. Students participate actively in a series of in-class discussions, role-plays, panel discussions on historical documents and oral reports, composing an essay for submission at the end of the semester.
