HIST 237 - Empires, Places, and Global History (TR)

Empires controlled much of the world for much of recorded history. They did much to shape the modern world. Much of what we think about empires is based on Western European examples such as the Portuguese, Spanish, British, French, and Dutch empires of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. Students reconsider the formation, operation, and impact of early modern empires through a comparative look at Western European empires and powerful but often ignored East Asian empires. (TR)
