Overview
What you will study
After the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961 the threat of imminent conflict in Europe receded, but the perils posed by nuclear war and antagonisms in the developing world remained.
How would the peace in Europe be maintained? Why did the hopes associated with détente in the 1970s give way to a “New Cold War” in the 1980s? Could the Cold War division of the continent be reversed through peaceful means? And why did the conflict end so dramatically with the collapse of the Communist regimes of East-Central Europe in 1989-91? All of these will be discussed in the Europe and the Europe and the Global Cold War, 1962-1991 - Confrontation, Détente and Collapse lectures offered by University of Oxford.
