The seminar will analyze the radicalization of warfare from the Napoleonic age to the Second World War. We discuss a variety of topics including the changing character of warfare and the interaction of radicalization and restriction of armed conflicts. The seminar is also intended to provide an overview of controversially discussed fields of research. Newer research aspects of military history such as gender and post-colonial approaches will be included.
