HIST 4318 - Modern Revolutions: From France to China Three credit hours.
A comparative examination of five modern revolutions: the French Revolution (17891815), The Meiji “Restoration” in Japan (18531890), the Mexican Revolution (19101920), the Russian Revolution (19171932), and the Chinese Revolution (19191949). We will consider such issues as the extent of real turnover in the state apparatus, the prevalence of state-driven “revolutions from above” as opposed to classic “revolutions from below” in modern history, the balance of internal and external causation, and the nature of revolutionary violence. Dual listed in the Graduate Catalog as HIST 5318.
