Course overview
The Twentieth Century was dominated by competing political ideologies. In the first half, the forces of Fascism, which emerged from the Great War, were defeated by a combination of the forces of Liberal Democracy and Communist Russia; the latter another product of that same conflict. In this course we will examine why the Great War was fought, how it unleashed these forces and the impact they had on the continent.
As well as being a period of political turmoil and war, economic and social forces continued to drive rapid change. The course will consider the impact of these impersonal forces alongside that of powerful leaders including Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Roosevelt.
