Course Description
United States history is best studied in the context of the greater world history in which it resides. While history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme, and we can learn to see themes that cross across centuries and millennia and apply those to current World situations.
​
Some of the topics covered include the New World; Western Europe; Asia (China, Japan, India) and Eastern Europe; the American Revolution; the Age of Napoleon; Africa; Rebellion and Repression. While studying these topics we will use original sources, maps, and literature.
