In this course students survey the major issues that have shaped the 20th century human experience from the beginning of World War I to the present time. The course assesses the causes and consequences of global violence so prevalent in the 20th century. It is centered on teaching an appreciation for non-western cultures and considers relations between non-western powers (specifically, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries) and European and American powers. We examine the development of modern warfare, new political ideologies, and the fall of communism. 20th Century World History exposes students to diverse perspectives and key social, cultural, and political events that shaped our world today.
