HI 241 U.S. and the World Wars

Scholars argue that rather than two distinct wars, World War I and World War II were separate episodes in one long global conflict not resolved in 1918. This course considers the interconnections between the world wars as well as the social, cultural, political, economic, and technological aspects of both conflicts and their effects on those living in the United States. How did the world wars influence people's lives? Experiences? The shaping of modern America? US international relations?
