Attend In Person OR Online
In this course, we will cover the causes of WWI and the role of the United States in the conflict. The course will begin with the primary focus on the war itself. We will explore what was occurring on the U.S. home front. Next, we will spend some time covering the U.S. Military’s role during the war before we turn to the aftermath and consequences that the war caused on the U.S. Home Front. We will also spend some time exploring major events from 1918-1919, including the Pandemic of 1918, the battle over the Treaty of Paris both at home and abroad, the failure of Reconversion, the Red Scare, and the social upheavals that swept the U.S. in the aftermath of the war.

All student enrolled to attend in person also have complete online access and may choose to attend one or all class sessions remotely if desired.
- Online students may attend all classes via live video streaming and will be able to participate in all course Q&A sessions with the professor in real time.
