Topic: The Global Islamic World, 1250-1875 In this course we will study the Muslim world from the Mongol Conquest in the thirteenth century until the nineteenth which ushered in a modern Islamic community. Though typically the early modern period is studied as one of exploration, colonization and imperial state centralization, this is also the time of a global Islamic community. The spread of Islam not only resulted in a changing global religious community, but also accompanied the spread of trade networks, political systems and culture. However, by 1800, growing European colonial and imperial powers changed the Islamic landscape from Indonesia through India to the Ottoman lands in the Middle East and Europe and finally to North Africa. This course will focus on how the Muslim World became a global phenomenon touching and changing almost all early modern societies from Indonesia to Spain.

Section Info: This course can be used to fulfill either Western or non-Western general education categories, but not both. The modern nation-state, the inter-connectedness of 21st centure global markets, the triumph of the English language, the shift from predominantly rural to overwhelmingly urban culture, and the principles of self-determination, liberty, and equality all have violent and sometimes profoundly unpleasant histories. Understanding these histories, and recognizing the profound role conflict played in the genesis of globalized 21st century societies is vital and necessary if we wish to understand the world around us. Together we will survey how the experience of war has fundamentally transformed human societies, politics, culture, economics, and religions over the past 800 years. We will begin with the sudden and spectacular rise of the Mongol Empire, a nomadic society of horse-archers who managed to bloodily carve out the largest empire in human history. Our course concludes in August 1945 and the beginning of the Atomic Age, which offered the promise of unprecedented human prosperity and the potential for man-made apocalyptic destruction.
