HTY 310 - Revolutions in the Atlantic World

This history course juxtaposes three revolutionary movements: the one led to the independence of the United States, the one that precipitated the fall of the French monarchy, and the one that resulted in the largest slave rebellion in the history of the world. We will treat the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions in isolation before delving into the world of comparative history. We will pay particular attention to revolutionary ideologies, changing social structures, and the relative impact of each revolution on the wider world. GLOBAL CONCENTRATION Course Typically Offered: Every 3 years.

Prerequisite(s): None.
