DESCRIPTION
An analysis and survey of global themes from the "Age of Discovery" to the end of the twentieth century. This course will address global themes from approximately 1400 to about 2000. Major themes include the rise of global trade in the Age of Exploration, religious toleration and coexistence in the Early Modern Period (especially in the Muslim empires), the Atlantic slave trade, the global impact of the Industrial Revolution, Imperialism and Colonialism, the two world wars and colonialism, Communism and the "Third World," and Decolonization. As much as possible, the main focus is on the history of the "non-Western" world.
