HIST 2117: Modern Germany Spring 2014

This lecture explores the transformative effects of the French and Industrial Revolutions on German society, particularly focusing on demographic changes and agricultural practices in the 19th century. It contrasts the latifundia agriculture of East Elbian Germany, characterized by Junkers and serfdom, with the small peasant agriculture of the West. The session also addresses key events in peasant emancipation, urbanization in major cities, and the emergence of new industries, detailing the challenges posed by rapid population growth and health crises like cholera.
