This course is divided into two sections. The first focusing on the birth of Western Civilization and the second focusing on the two world wars of the 20th Century.
During the first semester, we will examine the formative events of Western Civilization - from prehistoric times, the first Civilizations, empires and a detailed examination of the ancient Greek and Roman world. In the second half of the year, we will look at the causes, events and consequences of both WWI and WWII.
