HIS 1112 - 20th Century World: A Global Perspective

Credits: 4
This course will investigate the major political, economic, social, and cultural developments of the twentieth century. It is designed as a study of world history, taking account of events on all continents. Broad topics include the world wars and their impact, European imperialism and decolonization, the world’s entanglement in superpower rivalry during the Cold War, and the challenges to US power since the collapse of Soviet Communism in 1991. Within this broad framework the course will address the Arab-Israeli conflict, the rise and fall of Apartheid in South Africa, the Indochina Wars, the struggle between Nationalists and Communists in China, and authoritarianism and the quest for democratic government in Latin America.
