Age of Empire
The Age of Empire is designed to review the critical events and issues that influenced World history from the Crimean War to the immediate period before World War I. Often this important period is overlooked or, in an earlier age, encompassed the nineteenth century. Instead, the Age of Empire will focus on social, political, and economic forces that made the Victorian Age or the Belle Epoch, as it has been commonly called. During the period of study, there were only two worlds according to historian Eric Hobsbawn, the developed and undeveloped. It is the mission of this class to look at the issues of industrialism, social reform, imperialism, social policy, and all the other critical events that shaped the Age of Empire in Europe, North America, and the Far East. Special emphasis, however, will be spent on the issue of colonialism and imperialism.
