HIST 336E - The U.S. Historical Experience:Prosperity, Depression, and War: The United States from 1920-1945

Units: 3
An exploration of society in the United States from 1920 to 1945. Between these years the United States moved from seemingly widespread prosperity through the Great Depression and into WWII. All of these phases induced profound changes in American society which will be monitored by examining how Americans from diverse backgrounds responded to the challenges of these eras. Covers such issues as the intolerance of the 1920s which included the “Red Scare” and a renewal of racism; the class divisions of the 1920s which became so apparent during the depression; and the impact that WWII not only had on American society as a whole, but specifically on women and minorities. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for HIST 342 .
