HIST 161 - Asian History I

Institution:

Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

In our modern-day, interconnected world, events in Asian countries such as Afghanistan, India, Iraq or Indonesia, for example, directly affect our lives in the US. Yet cross-cultural encounters - both friendly and hostile - have taken place for thousands of years. Moreover, modern-day interactions are deeply rooted in past experiences and events, and can only be fully understood with knowledge of this history. We will examine Asian history until 1500 CE, giving special attention to the role of religions in Asian societies, including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Forms of government, types of economies, and art and culture will also be explored.
