Synopsis "Fairy Tales, Patriotism (in English)"
text argues that the big story of the last 500 years is that a) with unprecedented new power, the West explored and then came to dominate the non-western world; and then b) the rest of the world fought back to win its independence, though in part by borrowing some of that new western power. These are the two halves of the text, which might also be used for a modern western civ class that wanted to tilt a bit in the direction of world history. For the first half, what a casual observer sees first is technology, and the first chapter is indeed on the rise of European technology from 1300-1900. But the deeper power came from the world of ideas that changed human motivation. The next three chapters explore political nationalism as it emerged in the Enlightenment and French Revolution, cultural nationalism as it emerged from the Romantic Age in the Germanies, and socialism as it emerged from the Romantic Age in Russia. These three chapters also give the main background of European history down to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Three smaller European national experiences then show how political and cultural nationalism and socialism worked out there (in the context of the force field of great power politics)"
