Description:

This course situates the beginning of what we loosely call Modern History in the sixteenth century, a time that saw great advances in science, industry, commerce, philosophy, and art. These advances radically changed the material conditions of all the continents of the world, largely due to imperial expansion and the rise of capitalism. To put it differently, Modern Western history is the story of discovery, dominance, and resistance. This course will focus on a topic or two; such as, colonialism, imperialism, the industrial revolution, and nationalism, and trace the continuities and changes that mark the passage from the sixteenth century to the present. Meets LAC outcome: HCB3. A required core course. 3 crs.
