Lecture given by Mark Polelle.
Polelle examines the origins, major events, and consquences of the Second World War. Taking in account the First World War's effect on politics, economics, culture, and the international system as a whole, the course illustrates the ideologies at play as communism, fascism, and democratic capitalism came into direct conflict. Polelle also imagines a number of "what ifs," including what whould have happened if Hitler had not invaded the Soviet Union, and concludes with a consideration of the legacy of World War II.
