Welcome to Ridgefield Continuing Education!&nbsp; We have many fascinating European History classes starting soon, taught by Nancy Maxwell (scroll down for bio)&nbsp;– on Fridays at 10 a.m.&nbsp; on Zoom. 
Advance registration is required. Registration contact information and the website link to all classes, as well as a downloadable brochure, is at the bottom of this article. 
 The Creation of Germany&nbsp; Perhaps because of her dominant role in two world wars, it is easy to think of Germany as an old nation with a long history. But Germany is a young state, less than 150 years old. The original territory was divided into myriad small holdings ruled by independent noble families and surrounded by the powerful states of Austria and France; the path to unification would be blocked by all of these. Despite earlier attempts, it took the rise of Otto von Bismarck, with his cunning, wisdom, and political acuity, to overcome all these obstacles and establish the German Empire. This class will consider the events and personalities that led to the creation of the German Empire. Instructor: Nancy Maxwell. Scroll down for bio. 1 Session $ 29 (Ridgefield Sr./Disab. $ 25) Fri., 10/16 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Zoom.
Franz Joseph - The Last Habsburg Emperor&nbsp; Born into a dynasty steeped in centuries of power and tradition but also teetering on the brink of collapse, Franz Joseph inherited a sprawling, disparate empire that was crying for reform and a dysfunctional family that suffering from the effects of intrigue and inbreeding. With extraordinary self-discipline and dedication, Franz Joseph managed to hold them all more or less together, but an emperor’s private life cannot be separated from his public one, and the end of his long reign saw the destruction of everything. Franz Joseph’s life is a gripping tale of duty, power, politics, love, and loss, all played out on the world stage. Instructor: Nancy Maxwell.
