| SCOPE | |||||||||
| HI107, Western Civilization, is part of a two-semester sequence intended to develop a historical understanding of the civilization in which cadets live. The other part of the sequence (HI108, Regional Studies in World History) is an in-depth survey of another civilization. HI107 traces the human experience in the West from 1500 until roughly 2000. It begins with an examination of the early modern period to include the Renaissance and the Reformations, traces the development of modern European nation-states up through the end of the 19th century, and ends with an examination of the broad causes, conduct, and consequences of the three major wars of the 20th century: World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. The formative events of the West in each time period are examined in depth in order to provide cultural, social, economic, political, and military understanding of Western Civilization. The course also develops methods of historical research and analysis, critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| HI 107 is the first half of a two-semester sequence intended to build for cadets a historical foundation before they conduct an in-depth survey of another civilization in HI 108. This course traces the human experience from ancient times until 1914. Beginning with an examination of the origins of Western Civilization in the Middle East, HI 107 then explores the development of Western Civilization through the classical, medieval, early modern, and modern periods, ending with an examination of the causes leading to the First World War. The roots and formative events of the West are examined in depth to provide a cultural, social, economic, political, and military framework for the understanding of Western Civilization. This course also develops methods of historical research and analysis. It seeks to develop the cadet's facility for critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion. | |||||||||

| HI107 | HISTORY OF THE WORLD | 1987 | 1 | History | 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0) | ||||
| SCOPE | |||||||||
| These courses trace the human experience from ancient times to the nuclear age. The first term examines the rise of early civilizations in the ancient Middle East and then explores the development of major civilizations through the classical, medieval, and early modern periods. The classical roots of the Western, East Asian (China and Japan), and Islamic civilizations are examined in depth in order to understand the dynamic process of cultural interaction and historical progression across Eurasia. The second term surveys the development of these three civilizations up to the present. Examination of the impact of European dominance over traditional non-Western civilizations and the emergence of the Third World provides an understanding of the turmoil of the modern world since 1945. The courses also introduce methods of historical research and analysis, and seek to develop the cadet's facility for critical thinking and lucid writing, and for participating effectively in oral discussion. | |||||||||
