HIST - 270 The History of Modern Britain


Credits: 3

Prerequisites
A grade of “C” or higher in ENGL 101  and HIST 101  or HIST 102 .

Great Britain has a remarkably rich and complex history that gives it a leading place in both the “Western Tradition” and in world history. This course will provide a survey of the social, cultural, economic and political histories of Britain, and its empire, between 1780 to the present. During this period, Britain became a “modern,” “liberal” state and the world’s pre- eminent industrial and imperial power. This course also will examine how British culture, mores and values impacted not only peoples’ lives in Britain and around the globe.
