Then-divided Germany—called the Central Region by NATO—would have been the main battleground of such a conflict. But how would that Third World War and especially its conventional side be fought? In NATO's realm, this question did not only occupy the thinking of military headquarters and national defense ministries but also that of other military "experts." This produced an often international textual discourse that ranged from military doctrine to newspaper articles to future histories, mirroring not only the strategy change to "flexible response" but also intra-alliance issues such as equitable sharing of the military burden and the influence of latest weapons technology developments on strategy and tactics. And while World War III between the Warsaw Pact and the Atlantic Alliance never materialized, both sides spend billions on materiel and stationed millions of soldiers in preparations for a war that never happened—and that continues to stimulate the imagination up to this day.

It examines National Socialist policies and actions to show the various participators and perpetrators in the economic plundering of German Jewish citizens. It provides an insight into how commercial and ideological interests, as well as state legislation and actions, were intrinsic to the discrimination, disenfranchisement and persecution of Jewish people in this part of south-west Germany.

The History Path was initiated by the Geschichtswerkstatt Tübingen e. V. (History Workshop Tübingen); The Arbeitskreis Geschichtspfad (History Path Working Group) conceptualized the History Path and wrote the texts. The University Town of Tübingen was involved in the realization of the History Path and covered its funding.
150 years later, the Civil War is still one of the most widely written about subjects in U.S. history. In this class, we will therefore take a look at different types of history writings dealing with the “War of the Rebellion,” among them military history, social history, and memory studies. Which role did slavery play in the United States? How did Northern soldiers, Southern white women, or African Americans experience the Civil War? How was (and is) the "War Against the Rebellion"/"War Between the States" remembered in literature, film, or public spaces?
This class aims aims to introduce students to the work of historians by surveying various types of texts and different aspects of World War II in U.S. history, from the pre-war years to political and military history to questions of gender, race, and ethnicity to how this worldwide conflict has been portrayed and remembered.
Which were the decisive battles and who the most famous military leaders—and what were their strategies? Why did Americans fight in wars and for which motives? How did they experience life on the frontline, from crouching in foxholes to flying airplanes? How were American wars remembered—by the participants themselves and the generations after them? How has the memory culture of certain wars changed with time and what can this tell us? And what sense is made out of America's wars?
This class will give an introduction to U.S. military history by looking at select wars and examining various sources, from soldiers' letters to veterans' memoirs to movies and cartoons, as well as scholarly texts to analyze and interpret the impact of three of America's wars on the history and memory of the United States: the Civil War, World War II, and the Vietnam War.
The aim of this class is an introduction to the work of historians by surveying U.S. foreign policy in the so-called "American century" and beyond. Which were the decisive moments in history? What have American motivations for dealing with other countries been? What was the role of political actors such as Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, or Henry Kissinger? Most of all, how has America's role as a global power changed over time? We will be analyzing and interpreting key source documents, backed by research literature, to identify policies, events, and persons.
This class gives an overview of different types of history writing concerned with the Civil War. From the debates about causes and consequences to the soldier's view of the war to gender and race studies, many topics have been covered by historians. In addition, we will take a look at various historical sources, from Lincoln's speeches to diary entries and memoirs, photographs and sheet music.
This class will survey a number of historical sources, ranging from secret memoranda to public speeches in order to answer, among others, the following questions: How did the role of the United States change throughout the Cold War years? What was the importance of international crises like the Berlin crises or the Cuban Missile Crisis? How did these events shape American foreign policy and military strategy toward its allies and the Communist world?
