SILL: American History: World War II

Tuesdays, 7/11-8/1/2023, 12:30-2pm, Galloway Campus  Room F-225 | The most glaring characteristic of World War II is the sheer vastness of the tallies; the numbers of people killed and wounded, the destruction of cities and whole states, the leaders assassinated and convicted, the amount of equipment first created, then destroyed in battle and ultimately abandoned as the war ended. The loss of it all-entire generations wiped out, ethnic groups disappeared, cultures disseminated, families separated…starvation, industrialized murder, torture, indiscriminate violence and the infliction of pain. The size of the destruction is so great that it often causes us to ignore it. This course helps the student to organize the information, identify the major trends and ramifications which continue to influence and shape the way global politics and culture operates today.
