It's really awesome when different research conducted over a period of time just so happens to all come together. Throughout 3 separate terms of history, 2 US, 1 European, I've been looking at naval history surrounding world war I. It's really awesome when you read about an Admiral who goes over at the start of US involvement, which sets you on

why not?

because a) Americans were and usually are isolationist bastards

and b) Britain is the world superpower, not the US.

(psst. what european history course are you taking and would you recommend it?)

[wispdancer]

HIS425, Europe 1890-1945. Covers pre WWI, WWI, depression, Fascism, Lenin, Stalin, etc. Goes right up to start of WWII, then does holocaust, and some assignment called "Reckoning," so maybe the opening battles or something? Includes movies and one reaction paper on that, one standard paper, 2 research papers, one book report on a term-long book choice. 3 classes per week.

Teachers: Pruitt, Herney.

Basically, this class rocks. Anyone, and everyone, should take it, especially if you're interested in politics, europe, military, or the reasons why we're where we are today.
