The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the mechanisms that fueled religious conflict in the global world in the early modern age. In particular, it will focus on the religious clash that took place in early modern Europe and on the conflicts that opposed the three great monotheistic religions, starting from the expulsion of the Muslims and the expulsion of the Jews in Catholic Spain at the end of the 15th century. At the same time, it will develop students' knowledge of the historical factors that marked the transition from a culture of conflict to an attempt at peaceful coexistence based on the principle of religious tolerance.
