HIST 2012 - World History II: From ca. 1200 CE to the Present

This survey of world history from ca. 1200 EC to the present treats the development of societies in major areas of the world: West, South, and East Asia; North and Sub-Saharan Africa; the northern Mediterranean; Europe; and the Americas. This is neither a comprehensive history of the world nor a traditional overview of world civilizations. More sophisticated than the 1000-level Introduction to World Civilizations course designed for all majors, this course is designed to hone the History major’s skills of critical thinking and broad analysis by examining the political, economic, military, social, and religious interactions throughout medieval and modern world history.
