HIST 2400 - The United States Between the Wars, 1865-1941

Hours: 4
This course will focus on the crucial decades between the two bloodiest wars the United States has fought. During these years, the reunited United States transitioned from a primarily rural, traditional, and Anglo-Saxon nation to a modern, urban, industrial, and multicultural one. This transition heralded the emergence of modern America. This class will investigate the major events of this period including the Second Industrial Revolution, the “new” immigration, the Great Migration, the Spanish-American-Filipino and First World Wars, the Great Depression, and the New Deal to understand how and why this transition took place and how it changed the political, social, economic, and cultural fabric of the country.
