HIST 3243 - 20th Century Europe

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] This course resides in the 20th century, examining the rise of totalitarianism, fascism, and communism, and their extreme ramifications across the world. While the focus will primarily be on Europe, a large portion of the course will focus on the aptly named World Wars, and thus this course includes a global dimension. Thematically, this course will focus especially on the historical context for the growth of the extreme ideologies of the 20th century, and look at the impact of those ideologies beyond strictly the political.
