HIST 2240: The Cold War, 1943–1991
Course Format | Lecture 2.0 h + Seminar 2.0 h + Lab 0.0 h |
---|---|
Credits | 3.0 |
Against the backdrop of World War II, students explore the events and circumstances which led to the division of the world into two mutually hostile camps, the communist and the capitalist, each under the aegis of the USSR and the USA respectively. This polarization of world politics carried with it the danger that any conflict between the two superpowers might ignite a world-wide conflict. Students examine the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the quagmire in Vietnam, and the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Students will receive credit for only one of HIST 2240 or 2241; and HIST 2240 or 2242.
