Beginning with the overseas voyages of discovery during the 15th century C.E., this course traces the growing complexity of global interaction among early modern societies in their pre-industrial phases. The focus includes analysis of demographic, institutional, cultural, material, and political aspects of trans-continental and trans-oceanic exchanges. The second half of the course examines global societies transformed by the revolutionary forces of modernity. Issues examined include industrialization, imperialism, the rise and fall of states, the unleashing of two world wars and countless regional conflicts, and the redefining of the contemporary interdependent world.
