HIST 96.25 World War II in the Pacific, 1931-1945

This course explores the origins, nature, and consequences of World War II in the Pacific. Moving beyond the common U.S. focus on the war as a U.S.-Japanese conflict, it examines the different nations, political movements, ideologies, and empires that clashed between 1931 and 1945. The course culminates in a 20 – 25 page research paper that uses primary and secondary sources; students will develop their topic in consultation with the instructor.
