Course details
The Modern World Emerges provides a broad overview of world history from 1500-1900CE. It examines the emergence of new world patterns to 1800 and of the modern world of today. Specific areas of exploration to 1800 include Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment and Revolutionary Europe, the New World, Africa, the Muslim Empires, and the East Asian World and political, economic, social and cultural developments in, and interactions between, these spheres. The course then surveys the 19th and 20th century world of industrialisation and rise of mass society in the West, new imperialism and global war, nationalism, revolution and independence. As an introductory level offering, the course also introduces students to a preliminary understanding of the problems of historical evidence and emphasizes both discipline-specific and generic skills. Students will require computer and internet access to complete some assessment for this course. Together with Ancient and Medieval Civilisations: An Historical Introduction, an optional introductory companion course, The Modern World Emerges provides a firm foundation for more specialised history studies offered at CQU.
