This course surveys the history of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (the Baltic countries). We will pay particular attention to the experiences of individuals in historical context: How did they respond to historical events as they unfolded, how did they affect the course of history? Students will explore and critique a variety of primary and secondary sources used in historical research about the Baltic countries.
