Section Description
This course will examine the history of World War II from the standpoint of world history, discussing the ways in which a series of regional struggles merged over time into a truly global conflict. Amongst other topics, we will look at the origins of the wars in Europe and in Asia; the place and weight of the war between the Axis powers and the Soviet Union; and the impact of war on colonial Africa, British-ruled India, and Latin America. We will also discuss the ways in which the war shaped the postwar world; think about the global war as a "total" war; and talk about the place and meaning of the Holocaust. Students will write three essays during the semester, plus a term paper on a topic of their choice. I will waive the prerequisites for interested Global Studies and Political Science majors and minors. Prerequisite: Three credits History Concentration: Europe (HI02), Asia/Africa/Middle East/Global (HI04), The Americas (HI05)
