Výsledky vzdelávania: The aim of this course is to give students a deeper understanding of this region’s history and provide some historical context for the contemporary political and philosophical writings that they may be asked to study in other courses at BISLA. This course will focus on Europe as a whole, while emphasizing regional variations as well as exceptions to generally regarded rules of homogeneity.  Students will be asked to consider the perspective and motivations of various actors (individuals, groups, nations, or alliances) and to assess the value of different historical sources and approaches to writing history. Along with increased historical understanding, students will cultivate better critical thinking and analytical skills that can be applied in a range of academic and practical settings.
