HIST 262 - World War I

Credits: (3)
This course explores the causes, conduct, and consequences of World War I, with an emphasis on the formulation and execution of grand political and military strategy, the role of senior political and military leadership on both sides, and the impact of total war on a continental scale. While the course focuses on the higher levels of military command and strategy, selected military campaigns are examined in more detail, and the experience of war is explored at the lowest military echelons through the reading of two classic memoirs of the conflict.
