This course will concentrate on the period 1750 to the present, including these topics: the early industrial revolution with explanations for why England, and then Europe and the US took the lead; demographics, depressions, and world wars; cultural and artistic changes in reaction to modernity; revolutions and decolonization; and the immense changes in Asia and Africa. My approach makes extensive use of illustrations and choice quotes, carefully curated to represent important ideas and trends.
