History Course Descriptions, 2010 Summer Session
HIST 103 (6) World History Since 1900. The 20th century wrought terrible changes to people's lives, and
no doubt many would have agreed with Samuel Beckett's conclusion that humankind “gives birth astride
of a grave, the light gleams an instant, and then it is night once more.” HIST 103 examines a range of
political and economic developments, among which are Imperialism, World War One, the Russian
Revolution, Totalitarianism, World War Two, the Cold War and Decolonization. The course uses
secondary and primary sources, the latter chosen to allow students to get inside the minds of people who
shaped or responded to events.
HIST 270 (6) Modern China and the West. The invasion of China since the 1600s by western
civilization; the impact of Chinese culture and of the modern Chinese revolution on the West, Canadian
relations with China included. Open to students with no previous knowledge of China.
HIST 317 (3) Britain, 1850-1918. Britain from the Great Exhibition to the Great War: the creation of a
mass electorate, the "New Imperialism," the "New Woman," and the ways that class, race, gender, and
sexuality shaped modern Britain.
HIST 326 (3) Canada Since 1945: Affluence and Anxiety in the Atomic Age. Includes immigration
policy; the welfare state; Aboriginal peoples; the Cold War; resource economies and national politics;
continentalism and free trade; constitutional crises; conflicting nationalisms; and new social movements.
Credit will only be granted for one of HIST 326 or 426, if 426 was taken before 2007W.
HIST 412 (6) The American Impact on Canada. An examination of the influence of the United States'
rise to continental, hemispheric, and world power upon Canada in the areas of economics, defence, and
foreign policy.
HIST 425 (6) War and Society. Continuity and change in the relations of war and society, the
connections between the economy, society, the military, and government in peacetime as well as war; not
a course in military history.
HIST 432 (6) International Relations of the Great Powers in the Twentieth Century. The
international relations of the great powers from the end of the First World War to the end of the Cold
War.
HIST 441 (3) The Holocaust. A study of the systematic attempt to destroy European Jewry during the
Nazi regime, 1933-1945. Topics of special importance include: the motivations and behaviour of the
perpetrators; the reactions of the victims; the roles of bystanders.
HIST 453 (3) Class and Culture in Latin America. The relationship between culture and class
formation from the late colonial period to the present.
HIST 486 (3) Korea in the 20th Century. History of the Korean people in the 20th century; the
traditional cultural history; Japanese colonial rule; the Korean war; the two Korean states; economic,
social, and cultural change.
HIST 490N (3) Seminar for History Majors: Minorities in Europe Since the Enlightenment. This
course will explore the relationship of different ‘minority’ groups to European Society and the evolving
system of nation-states and supra-national entities since the middle of the 18th century.
