HS 212 - America Since 1945: Cold War Years(3.00 cr.)
Examines two vital threads in post-World War II American history: our evolving international role and the rapidly changing society at home. At one level, it tries to make sense of a bewildering series of important events, including: the Cold War, McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement, the War on Poverty, the Vietnam War, the Peace Movement, the sixties counterculture, feminism, Watergate, and supply-side economics. At another level, it asks how these critical events–and broader demographic trends such as the baby boom and suburbanization–touched everyday Americans. How did life for the “person on the street” change during this tumultuous period?
Prerequisite: HS 100 .
