Academic Global History IV Global History is a one-credit course consisting of six units. Global History topics include the Cold War, Global Justice, North-South comparisons, and the Technological Revolution.
During the first half of the twentieth century, nationalism developed into the extremes of fascism and totalitarianism, and after WWII, two superstates emerged to compete with each other in a titanic Cold War struggle. Global History will show how the twenty-first century will be changed by mass communications and increasingly fast transportation systems that will turn planet earth into a “global village.” The notion of superstate power will be examined by exploring the new forces of global trade and increasingly sophisticated technologies.
