This course will examine modern global history (1450 to the present). We will travel through a great deal of space (the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa) and time (over 500 years), so in order to better comprehend the different historical eras and places, we will organize the course around important themes rather than adhering to a strictly chronological analysis. These themes include: the creation of an Atlantic World, colonization, slavery, revolutions, political ideologies, religious upheavals, independence, modernization, decolonization, and artistic movements. (One course).
