HIST - 240 Nazi Germany

Credits: 3

Prerequisites
Six credit hours of history, three of which may be concurrent enrollment, and/or permission of the instructor.

Who knows what evil lurks? The Nazis knew, and with that knowledge they seized control of a modern industrial state. This course is the study of how a nation was brought to the brink of world conquest and of a small group of people who terrorized the western world on a scale unparalleled since the hordes of Genghis Khan stormed out of Asia. Supplemented with multimedia presentations, this course will examine the rise of the Nazi Party, the road to war, the war itself, the Holocaust, and the end of European primacy in world affairs.
