    Description
    Analyzing how we got to where we are today, students will explore the changing fate of the western world (defined here as primarily Europe and its global interactions) from c. 1550 CE to the near present. Learn about the 16th century's religious wars and scientific and intellectual revolutions, the Enlightenment and French and American Revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism and the troubles of colonialism/imperialism, the world wars, the Cold War and more. We will analyze the traditional story of the west in response to approaches that focus on global history and incorporate marginalized voices. Credit may be earned in HIS 112W or HIS 112HW but not in both.
