Experiences and memories of conflict have played an important role in shaping the development of twentieth-century France. This period is marked by two world wars, Occupation and Liberation, colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria, student revolt of May 1968, strike wave of 1995, and riots of November 2005. We study the underlying causes of wars and unrest; investigate links between conflict, cultural production, and social change; and examine the legacies of conflict in debates about 'French' identity and France's relationships with other parts of the world.

Experiences and memories of conflict have played an important role in shaping the development of France from 1900 to the present. This period of French history is marked by two world wars, Occupation and Liberation, colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria, the student revolt of May 1968, the strike wave of 1995, and the riots of November 2005. In this course we study the underlying causes and nature of the wars and civil unrest. We investigate links between conflict, cultural production, and social change; and we examine the legacies of conflict in debates about what it means to be ?French? and France?s relationships with other parts of the world.
