Section Info:
Description: This course will help you understand the backstory to recent events in Afghanistan and other pressing international relations issues. It will focus on the U.S. rise to superpower status; the nature and limits of U.S. power as it played out in places such as Mexico, Germany, Japan, Vietnam, Cuba, and Iraq; and the larger contours of global history during the so-called American Century. Ranging from total wars to police actions, summit meetings to Peace Corps projects, A-bombs to spooks, Dec. 7 to 9/11, neocolonialism to human rights, corporate headquarters to deportable labor, and containment to container ships, this course will help you understand how the United States helped forge the modern world and vice versa.
