History of American Civilization 1865-2015 WP-MON-PO-S-Hca2

It is a general university course not only because of its accessibility to students, but primarily because of its interdisciplinary nature. Implementing chronological approach, the lecture shows the development of individual elements of American civilization and the way in which they influenced one another.

All these elements are a substantive continuation of the lecture course in the previous semester, when the chronological range covered the years up to the Civil War.

Lectures will be supplemented by extensive iconographic material.

Term 2022/23_L:

During the lecture, richly illustrated with iconography, students will be familiarized with the development of the United States in the post-Civil War period, in particular with the essence of successive presidencies, the changing approach to world events related to the US taking over the role of a global power, as well as the most important economic and cultural phenomena.
