HIST285: New World Order 1919-1939

Globalisation! Remarkable change!! Shared cultures and new identities!!! All are claimed to be new aspects of modern life-but they are not that new at all, as HIST 285 attempts to demonstrate. Historians understand the repeated cycles of interaction and change over several centuries, but in this course I examine just twenty years focusing upon ‘Eurasia’, that combination of Europe, Russia and East Asia. This process between 1919-1939 involved virtually every aspect of life, modern and traditional, with various influences flying in every direction; indeed, aviation played a significant role in the transformation. HIST 285 therefore uses diplomatic, political, military, social and cultural histories to examine to rich, and often surprising, interplay between regions that now dominate the international system.
