Università Roma Tre

The common thread of the course taught in the academic year 2016-2017 is the experience of political exile after the so-called Spring of the Peoples, seen as a real watershed in European history. Particular attention will therefore be paid to the analysis of the forty-eight revolutions, as well as to their premises and consequences.
Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.
