  • HIS 220: 20th Century World History

    3.00 Credits
    Lehigh Carbon Community College

    While it was once possible to understand the rhythms of life over the course of centuries, by the late 19th century this was no longer true. The 20th century wrought truly staggering changes in technology and war, family life, religion, international relations, the relationship of the government and the economy, ideas of equality and fairness. These vast, world altering changes rendered, for the first time in human history, a world that we would be entirely unrecognizable, and incomprehensible to humans who lived before. To understand our world in the 21st century, we must learn the precursor of change as the only constant.
