History 317 - America and World Crisis,1914-1945

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

D. Bouk America faced many crises between 1914 and 1945. Its people fought two horrible wars, and it endured an economic meltdown of unprecedented proportions. Few periods of American history seem so crucial, yet the crisis did not belong to the United States alone: it was a world crisis. This course treats it as such, and students examine American history during these tumultuous years through a global lens. Using the methods of transnational and comparative history, students work to come to a fuller understanding of what happened to the United States in the world as it endured World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Students in this course leave the class having made their own contributions to the scholarship on America's place in this age of global distress.
