HIS 309 - The Twentieth Century World


This course explores the twentieth century from the First World War to the radical divisions that dominate the modern world. Europe is the focus, but since so much of the century’s history is international or even global, non-European history will also be explored. Special attention will be paid to the rise of Communism, Nazism and Fascism, world wars and genocide, imperialism and decolonization, and the beginnings of the new Europe as the century ends.

Prerequisite: HIS 100  or HIS 102  or departmental permission
