HIS 318 War & Revol:Eur 1900-1945

The first half of the 20th century was dominated by the fall out of two world wars fueled by the escalating tensions of imperialist rivalry, commercial competition, and aspirant nationalisms that carried over from the later 19th century. This course examines the transformative impact of total war on European societies and the world. Although we will certainly pay some attention to traditional military concerns, the course focuses more on the social and political effects of war in this era in Europe and other areas of the globe. Fulfills writing-intensive requirement. Prerequisite (any one of the following 200 level courses): HIS 211, HIS 213, HIS 212, HIS 214, HIS 217, HIS 219. 4 credits
