Section Information for Fall 2017
This class examines the forces, trends, relationships, and events that have shaped the modern world, from about 1300 to the present. We will touch on the particular histories of a variety of regions—East Asia, South Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and North America—but the overall theme of the class is less these particular histories than the creation and evolution of the global systems of trade and power relations that tied them all together. The main themes of this story include trade and mercantile activity, colonialism and imperialism, industrialization and consumption, revolution and nationalism, and resistance and anti-colonialism.
