Instructor(s): P. Sinanoglou
Credit: 1
At the start of World War II in 1939, approximately one-third of the world’s population lived under European colonial rule. By the end of the twentieth century, that number had dropped to less than one percent. This course examines the ending of European empires in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. Themes addressed include theories of imperialism and decolonization; anti-colonial nationalist and internationalist movements; the roles of violent and non-violent resistance; European domestic politics and international agreements; cultural imperialism; post-colonial immigration; the legacy of empire and decolonization; and the persistence of imperialism in the twenty-first century.
