About the Course

This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part Two begins early in the twentieth century, as older ways of doing things and
habits of thought give way. What follows is an era of cataclysmic struggles over what ideas and institutions will take their place. The course
concludes in the present day, as communities everywhere are transitioning into a new era of world history. Again we work hard to grasp what
is happening and ask: Why? Again we are drawn to pivotal choices made at key moments by individuals and communities.

Excellent course. I learned a lot, enjoyed the experience. Prof. Zelnikov is a master teacher. Thanks for the opportunity to listen and learn even after eight years after production of these lectures.

excellent course for those who have not studied history as part of their academic curriculum. Course is slightly from American(USA) perspective of world events but nevertheless is highly informative.
