Description

The story of how Britain gained the world’s biggest ever empire over the course of two and half centuries (Anglobalization) and then lost almost all of it over two generations is a remarkable episode in human history, raising many complex and vital questions. This course will introduce students to the ways historians have tried to answer these questions, and the controversies they sparked then and now. Suitable for students curious about how a traditional society underwent major economic and social transformations while avoiding a political revolution and without losing its sense of humour.

Prerequisite(s): 3 credit units HIST at the 100-level or 30 credit units of university level courses.
Note: Students with credit for HIST 246 will not receive credit for this course.
