World War II had a decisive impact on the twentieth century, moving from discrete causes in Asia and Europe to affecting the course of world history. Students analyze and discuss the military, economic, geopolitical, and moral consequences of the greatest war ever fought. They debate whether major decisions by individual leaders determined the grand strategic outcomes of the war or whether material factors offer a better explanation of who won and lost and how they won or lost. Students explore statecraft, grand strategy and command, while also dealing with battle as experienced by flesh and blood soldiers and examining 'home front' conditions such as total war mobilization of civilian populations, and resistance or collaboration with occupation. They also discuss questions of gender, race, and social class, and how the war affected different groups in society.
