HIST 219 World War I
This lecture and discussion course covers the American experience during the First World War, including political, diplomatic and military aspects of the war, U.S. early efforts to stay out of the war, and eventually, its efforts to shape the peace. Women's roles on the home front and the war's influence on the lives of African Americans and other minority groups will be explored to illustrate the domestic and international significance of the war. The course provides an understanding of why WWI was not "the war to end all wars" as so many hoped.
