  • HIS 3001: Modern Russia

    4.00 Credits
    Centenary University

    4 Credits This course covers the period between Peter the Great (1682-1725) and the decline and fall of the Soviet Union. A major theme of these frequently tumultuous years is Russia's struggle to narrow the economic, technological, and often cultural breech that existed between it and Western Europe. Another central aspect of Russian History during these years is the failure, at least up until the 1990s, of any form of limitation to be imposed on the authority of its rulers. For a number of reasons addressed in this course, absolute power, whether in the hands of the Czars or Commissars, was the political reality. Also considered is Russia's unique geographical location making it simultaneously European and Asian.

Particular attention will be paid to the ideological, political, and economic roots of the phenomenon. Other issues include: the resistance of indigenous populations, post-World War II independence, and the colonial legacy.

  • HIS 3004: Modern Warfare

    4.00 Credits
    Centenary University

    4 Credits The focus on such an apparently brutal topic is justified on a number of levels. To begin with, there is no more dramatic event in the human condition, for it encompasses such basic elements as heroism, fear and tragedy. Secondly, it is undeniable that war has played a central part as an agent of political and social transformation. Finally, warfare can serve as a mirror in which the true nature of a society is reflected.
