Few periods in United States. history experienced as much change and turmoil as the "Long Sixties" (1954-1975), when powerful social movements overhauled American gender norms, restructured the Democratic and Republican parties, and abolished the South's racist "Jim Crow" regime.

The study of Nazi Germany forces historians to look more closely at a larger period of time and pose (and answer) important questions about a wide variety of topics relating to the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), the Nazi Era (1933-1939) and the Second World War (1939-1945). The events during these periods are of epic proportions - strikes, assassinations, hyperinflation, street fighting - and that is just in the years between the two world wars! These events, however, must be placed within the context of larger trends.
