This introductory course includes a sweeping look at one thousand years of tumult, compromise, and development and will address some very complex issues in European history. Topics include state formation in the sub-Roman world, economic expansion during the Commercial Revolution of 1000-1300, the political and cultural transitions of the 13th and 14th centuries and the emergence of the early modern world.
