HS 324 - Warfare in the Eastern Mediterranean from Troy to Iraq

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: One HS 100-level course. From the siege of Troy – which has proven real, although embellished by legend – to the current Iraqi and Syrian conflicts, the Eastern Mediterranean has rarely been at peace. The Trojans/Wilusians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, Crusaders, Fatamid Egyptians, Mongols, Europeans, Turks – Seljuks and Ottomans – Iranians, Iraqis, British, French, Germans, Americans, and many others have fought in and over what is actually a very small area of land – the world's battlefield, it could be called. That is the historical record; what is less well understood, or studied, is why there has been so much warfare, more than any other region on earth. GT
