Course Description
Students in this course are introduced to the history of the modern world from 1900 to 1945. Students explore and discuss major historical events and global conflicts that shaped the development of the world from the Era of Imperialism through the end of World War II. Through assignments designed to provide practical application of course content, students compose short essays on such topics as the essential elements to make a nation thrive, such as political policies and alliances; the impact of culture and technology on society; and the strengths and weaknesses of monumental historical documents. Students in this course learn to use a historical perspective to evaluate global events and key changes that shaped the first half of the 20th century.Applications for each non-degree, credit-bearing, course are reviewed by Walden University’s Admissions Office. Therefore, only a single credit-bearing Walden course can be purchased at a time until an admission decision is rendered (usually within 2 business days). If you have any questions, please contact an enrollment specialist at 855-621-4892.
