This course aims to put context and nuance into the traditional views with which Americans have seen the Second World War. Although keeping the American experience at the center, it will always view that experience through a global lens. We will challenge some of the myths and half-truths that Hollywood has presented to Americans about the war while introducing students to some arguments that have emerged from the latest scholarship on themes like the home front, the actual fighting of the war, and the processes of peacemaking. This course is intended to be a serious, scholarly, and objective analysis of the interplay between American, world, and military history during the most destructive war ever. It will examine World War II in both Europe and Asia. It will include the causes of the war, the course of the conflict, the diplomacy of the war, and the rise of post-war Europe. A special section will be devoted to the systematic murder of the Jewish population carried out under German authority.
