Legacies of Empire
Course Number:
HIST1000
Course Description:
This unit provides students with an historical and political context for the modern world. To do so, students examine some of the problems created by Empires (British, French, Italian, Russian and Ottoman) and their impact on the post-World War II world. Students will consider, for example, how hurried British withdrawals from Palestine and South East Asia respectively, contributed to the complex problems of the modern Middle East and India-Pakistan or the colonial roots of the "new racism" that emerged in France in the 1990s. The countries examined may vary, but the unit will provide a solid introduction to studies of globalisation and the contemporary world.
