HS 333 - The Second World War

(3.00 cr.)

The Second World War, 1939-1945, was a colossal disaster that resulted in the premature death of perhaps a hundred million people. At the same time, the Allied victory prevented the spread of brutal, dictatorial regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan. Students examine the origins of the war and particularly, military strategy and combat in both European and Asian theatres of war. Students confront historical controversies over appeasement, the Holocaust, and the decision to drop the atomic bomb. The course also deals with memorials to the war and its combatants.

Prerequisite: One HS 100-level course.
Sessions Typically Offered: Fall/Spring
Years Typically Offered: Varies
