HISTORY OF THE WORLD
- Scope
-
These courses trace the human experience from ancient times to the nuclear age. The first term examines the rise of early civilizations in the ancient Middle East and then explores the development of major civilizations through the classical, medieval, and early modern periods. The classical roots of the Western, East Asian (China and Japan), and Islamic civilizations are examined in depth in order to understand the dynamic process of cultural interaction and historical progression across Eurasia. The second term surveys the development of these three civilizations up to the present. Examination of the impact of European dominance over traditional non-Western civilizations and the emergence of the Third World provides an understanding of the turmoil of the modern world since 1945. The courses also introduce methods of historical research and analysis, and seek to develop the cadet's facility for critical thinking and lucid writing, and for participating effectively in oral discussion.
