HIST 1040 — - World History II
This course is designed as a broad survey of world history and culture in the modern period. The course examines the development of modern ideas, institutions, and economic and political systems that were created as a result of networks of exchange and resistance connecting different regions of the world. We explore the ways various forms of globalization-- political, economic, social, and technological--helped to create the world we live in today. We begin with the encounters between Europe and the rest of the world before considering how these relationships changed over time.
