Overview
Key facts
It will introduce students to the international history of the two world wars and the Cold War as well as the post-Cold War period, but it does not attempt to cover every aspect of the years since 1914. Instead, it focuses on key decisions and turning points, analysing them in-depth and placing them in context.
As London School of Economics and Political Science's From Sarajevo to Baghdad - Key Decisions on War and Peace, 1914-2003 course progresses, students will be encouraged to make comparisons and draw out wider themes as well as to develop their knowledge and understanding of the individual topics. The material should be readily accessible to students with little previous background in the field, as well as rewarding for those who already have familiarity with the content.Programme Structure
