HIST 3660 - 20th Century World

3 Credit Hours
Description
This course explores the history of the â€œlongâ€ twentieth century from the 1890s to the 2000s. We will track the emergence of antagonisms in an imperial world that culminated in the First World War; the effort to construct political and social alternatives through the Second World War; the interplay of the â€œthree worldsâ€ during the Cold War; and the unfolding of global turbulence in a neoliberal world. We will highlight the ongoing challenges of social movements as well as contested visions of global order across this long century. Global Scholars course.
