This course will focus on the causes and,aftermath of World War I. While the war itself,was fought between 1914-1918, consideration of,the causes and aftermath widens our exploration,from 1848 (the “year of revolutions”) to 1939,(the Spanish Civil War). Sometimes called “The,War to End all Wars” or “The Great War”, the,catastrophic events of WWI changed the modern,world. These causes and changes extend from the,middle of the 19th to the middle of the 20th,century, and into our own 21st century. This is,why this war can be considered an endless war. ,World War I affected virtually every field,discipline – from the arts and science, politics,and ideology, geography and anthropology, finance,and popular culture, and, the ways we consider,the process of History itself.
