HISTORY/POLITICAL SCIENCE Contact: Professor Richard Frederick, Program Director Major in History/Political Science The history/political science major offers students a foundation in two disciplines that study the institutions, the processes, the people, and the ideas and cultures that have shaped the United States and other countries. The study of history and political science develops insight into current affairs and into the possibilities and limitations of individual and public action. The major prepares students for careers in journalism, teaching, or government service and for graduate study in business, history, law, political science, or public administration. Secondary teacher certification in social studies is available with the BA degree in history/political science.

HIST 0103 EUROPE IN THE 18TH CENTURY 3 cr. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. There was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face on the throne of England; there was a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of state, preservers of loaves, and fishes that things in general were settled forever. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0104 EUROPE IN THE 19TH CENTURY 3 cr. Nineteenth-century Europe was produced by Napoleon, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Otto von Bismarck, and Sigmund Freud—small man, monkey man, bearded man, weird man, blood and iron man, and shrink man. These are discussed in the appropriate setting. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0105 EUROPE IN THE 20TH CENTURY 3 cr. Europe on the eve of WWI is presented to show how it was drawn into the conflict; the war is discussed and the Treaty of Versailles is closely examined to discover if later European developments were directly traceable to that treaty. England and France are studied to see why appeasement (1938) was their only solution to international pressure. The rise of fascism in Italy, Germany, and Spain and the establishment of communism in Russia are also discussed. The course ends with the outbreak of WWII. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0106 U.S. HISTORY I 3 cr. A survey of U.S. history from the Age of Discovery to the end of the Civil War. Emphasis is on the causes of the American Revolution, the political and geographic development of the nation, and the nature of the sectional and economic differences that led to the Civil War. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0107 U.S. HISTORY II 3 cr. America from Reconstruction to the present. Major topics include the development of the West, urban and industrial development, the rise of America to world power, and the development of major political and socioeconomic institutions. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0108 MEDIEVAL EUROPE 3 cr. The Middle Ages was more than knights and castles, swains and serfs. It was a period of power grabbing on a titanic scale—popes, emperors, kings, princes, cardinals, archbishops, mistresses, poisons, and intrigues galore. In the end, modern Europe, as we know it, was emerging. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0109 RENAISSANCE/REFORMATION EUROPE 3 cr. Machiavelli, Da Vinci, Erasmus, Duerer, Palestrina, Copernicus, Titian, Michelangelo, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Henry VIII, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Charles V, Elizabeth I (Good Queen Bess), Henry IV (“old chicken pot”) of France, Columbus, Cabot, Diaz, Charles I (and his head), Savonarola (and his stake), Charles II (and his brood of 365+). GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0202 WORLD WAR I 3 cr. The 1918 Armistice which ended World War I failed to give concrete victory to either side. The Treaty of Versailles not only failed to resolve the issues, but proceeded to compound the problem by adding new injustices to old ones. The “Twenty-Year Truce” between the wars is usually studied in an attempt to understand the rise of Hitler, Hitler’s redress of the Versailles Treaty, and all that followed. It is imperative to understand the causes which enveloped the world in the First World War, the course of the war and all developments which led to that infamous treaty. This course will endeavor to expose all these issues for a better understanding of the First World War and all that followed. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0203 RADICALISM IN THE UNITED STATES 3 cr. Probes the origins of radical discontent in America from colonial times to the New Left and student movements of the 1960s. Particular emphasis will be placed upon pre-Marxian utopian socialism, the Marxian socialist movement around 1900, socialist developments within the labor movement, and the history of the Communist Party of the United States. Revolutionary tactics, major historical events, and ideologies receive approximately equal coverage. Assignments illustrate particular radical viewpoints. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0204 THE GREAT WAR 3 cr. World War II is often seen as a continuation of the unresolved conflict of the 1914-18 war. The 1918 armistice that ended World War I failed to give a concrete victory to either side. The Treaty of Versailles not only failed to resolve the issues, but compounded the problem by adding new injustices to the old ones. This course examines the origins, the outbreak, and the course of World War I to understand more clearly the Versailles Treaty and subsequent events. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0206 WORLD WAR II 3 cr. WWI and WWII are increasingly being viewed as one conflict interrupted by a 20-year truce. The view of many is that the issues of 1914 were never fully resolved by the war and further complicated by the 1919 settlement. The shortcomings of 1919 grew increasingly obvious as the 1920s and 1930s progressed. Events seemed to draw the world inextricably toward September 1, 1939. WWII is discussed in the global context in which it was fought, but concentrates on the European theater. The course ends with Potsdam 1945. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 0208 AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY 3 cr. Traces the African American experiences from colonial times through the modern civil rights era. Although the primary emphasis is on history, consideration is also given to various facets of African American culture, particularly literature. HIST 0250 SPECIAL TOPICS 3 cr. The study of a special topic in history. HIST 1301 TUDOR ENGLAND 3 cr. On Bosworth Field mediæval England died and modern England was born. The dynasty yushered in was that of the Tudors, and the Tudor years for England were Renaissance and Reformation years. By the end of the dynasty, these forces were spent, but by then, they had shaped the fundamental political, social, economic and religious ideas associated with modern Britain. This course will investigate these developments. GE: History HIST 1302 STUART ENGLAND 3 cr. The constitutional, religious, cultural, and social crises of Stuart times paved the way for British expansion and major power status in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. These crises are the major concentration of this course. HIST 1303 BRITAIN UNDER THE HANOVERIANS 3 cr. Presents the evolution of constitutional monarchy/oligarchy in 18th-century Britain to the constitutional monarchy/democracy in 19th century Britain. The development of responsible ministry under the Georges is discussed. The international complications of the 18th-century diplomatic wars and the effects of the French Revolution upon Britain are also discussed. The Industrial Revolution and the rise of “new” economic imperialism conclude the course with the coming of WWI. HIST 1304 VICTORIAN ENGLAND 3 cr. Great Expectations was the title Charles Dickens chose to open the Victorian era. H.G. Wells ended the era with The War of the Worlds. Between the two lies a period worth investigating; they were times that broadened horizons beyond Victorian recognition. HIST 1305 POST-VICTORIAN ENGLAND 3 cr. England during the Victorian era was the leading industrial, political, and Great Power on the European scene. Her economic preponderance and political system were the envy of the world. Twentieth-century Europe witnessed an end to “Pax Britannica,” and Britain’s economic superiority was inexorably cast away. England became a second, third-rate power. America in the late 20th century might learn much to guide her as her industrial preponderance and “Pax Americana” is challenged. HIST 1306 GERMANY FROM 1640 3 cr. In this course, the emergence of a united Germany is traced from the confusion of medieval particularism and the disaster wrought by the religious wars of the 16th and 17th centuries. The rise of Prussia under Frederick Wilhelm the Great Elector, French chauvinistic imperialism, the advent of Otto von Bismarck, the Bismarckian Empire’s weaknesses, the First World War, and the rise of Adolph Hitler are studied. The course ends with the disappearance of a united Germany in 1945. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 1307 FRANCE SINCE 1789 3 cr. This course concentrates on France since 1789. The Revolution, the Empire, the Restoration, the July Monarchy, the Second Republic, Second Empire, Third Republic, WWI, France between the wars, WWII, Vichy France, the Fourth and finally the Fifth Republic are dealt with in this study. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 1308 ITALY SINCE 1495 3 cr. Just because Columbus left in 1492, Italy did not fall apart. It wasn’t, however, able to put itself together for a long time. When it finally did, it went too far: Mussolini. Is contemporary Italy the right reaction to Mussolini? In this course, explanations are explored. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 1309 MODERN RUSSIA: TSARS, BOMBS, AND COMMUNISTS 3 cr. Covers the period of Romanov rule from 1613–1917; deals with the establishment of autocracy in Russia and Russia’s movement toward westernization and industrialization. The reform of Peter the Great, the Enlightenment of Catherine the Great, the reaction of Nicholas I, the liberalism of Alexander II, and the demise of Nicholas II are discussed, along with Russian foreign policy. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 1310 EAST ASIA: CHINA, KOREA, JAPAN 3 cr. The aim of this course is to survey the historical development of China, Japan, and Korea in their “classic” times. The first half of the course surveys these areas from the prehistoric era to the intrusion of the West in modern times. The second half is devoted to the impact of Western intrusion upon these cultures and their metamorphosis—either real or imagined—caused by it. The course concludes in the period between the World Wars. GE: History/Non-Western HIST 1311 AMERICAN COLONIES TO 1763 3 cr. A survey of colonial America emphasizing the role of the colonies in the British Empire and the social, economic, intellectual, and political factors that influenced later American history. HIST 1312 AMERICAN REVOLUTION 3 cr. The American “Revolution” is usually seen as an island entire unto itself—the outpouring of a spirit of liberty against an oppressive monarchy. It is, however, an integral part of the workings of larger 18th-century intellectual, commercial, and diplomatic activities. The events of Europe and America do interlock (whatever George Washington may have said to the contrary). In this course, the war for American independence is discussed in the European context; the American Revolution will be discussed in the North American context. HIST 1316 AMERICA BETWEEN THE WARS, 1917–1941 3 cr. An in-depth study of the United States in World War I and the interwar period. Major topics include the diplomatic events preceding the World Wars, ballyhoo and reality in the 1920s, causes and effects of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the New Deal. HIST 1317 CONTEMPORARY U.S. HISTORY, 1941–PRESENT 3 cr. Major events and trends of the post-World War II era, including the war and its aftermath, the onset of the Cold War, and the domestic and foreign policies of presidential administrations from Truman are discussed. Some major problems, such as urban decay and civil rights for minorities, are considered in the context of the period. HIST 1318 ANCIENT GREECE 3 cr. The first half of this course traces man from the caves to the pyramids, to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Minotaur of Crete. The second half of the course moves from Troy to Periclean Athens and Sparta of Leonidas—Marathon, Thermopylae are precursors to Alexander the Great with whom this course ends. GE: History/Euro-American. HIST 1319 ANCIENT ROME 3 cr. The first half of Roman history traces Rome from Romulus and Remus (and the she-wolf) through the forty stabs of Caesar—the Republic shall succumb to a surfeit of Gracci, Mariuses, Sullas, Pompeys, and the like. The second half (the imperial one) succumbs to one-too-many orgies, poisonings, lions, and Christians and Germanic invasions from the North. GE: History/Euro-American HIST 1320 EARLY AMERICAN NATION 1789–1840 3 cr. This course is a study of the rise of American political and constitutional institutions. Special emphasis is given to the emergence of political parties, economic policies, the democratic implications of the Age of Jackson, and the origin of issues leading to the Civil War. HIST 1321 THE CIVIL WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION 3 cr. America in the years leading to the Civil War, the war, and the period of Reconstruction are discussed. The full gamut of the social, economic, psychological, constitutional, and political factors are considered. HIST 1322 RISE OF URBAN AMERICA 1877–1917 3 cr. An in-depth study that will include the Industrial Revolution in the United States; the impact of mining, cattle, and agriculture “frontiers” on American business; the politics of the Gilded Age; immigration; the Spanish-American War and the emergence of the U.S. as a world power; the Populist Movement; and the Progressive Era. HIST 1324 ANCIENT EGYPT 3 cr. Egypt was one of the earliest cradles of civilization. The country’s political, social, philosophical, and religious contributions profoundly shaped and influenced the emerging Mediterranean world that we have become accustomed to refer to as the ancient world. Through the millennia that transpired, Egypt passed through its predynastic, old kingdom, feudal age, middle kingdom, hyksos intrusion, new kingdom, late pharaonic period, Assyrian conquest, Persian period, Alexandrian liberation, Ptolemaic, and Roman and Byzantine periods before the curtain was closed on ancient world.

Please contact Saint Bonaventure University at 716-375-2568 or see its Web site at www.sbu.edu/academics_rotc.html for more information. MILS 0101 FOUNDATIONS OF OFFICERSHIP 2 cr. The purpose of this semester is to introduce cadets to fundamental components of service as an officer in the U.S. Army. These initial lessons form the building blocks of progressive lessons in values, fitness, leadership, and officership. Additionally, the semester addresses life skills, including fitness, communications theory and practice (written and oral), and interpersonal relationships. Upon completion of this semester, the cadets should be prepared to receive more complex leadership instruction. MILS 0201 INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP STUDIES 2 cr. This semester contains the principal leadership instruction of the basic course. Building upon the fundamentals introduced in the Military Science I (MS-I) year, this instruction delves into several aspects of communication and leadership theory. The use of practical exercise is significantly increased over previous semesters, as cadets are increasingly required to apply communications and leadership concepts. Virtually the entire semester teaches critical life skills. The relevance of these life skills to future success in the Army is emphasized throughout the course. Prerequisite: MILS 101 MILS 0301 LEADERSHIP AND PROBLEM SOLVING 2 cr. The advanced course accepts cadets with various levels of leadership competencies gained through life experiences and complemented by the ROTC basic course or lateral entry constructive credit activities. The instructional content and activities in the MS 300-level curriculum are intended to build leadership competencies and facilitate the cadet’s initial demonstration of individual leadership potential at the National Advanced Leadership Camp (NALC), while also preparing cadets for their future responsibilities as officers. Because advanced camp uses small-unit infantry tactics as the context for the development and assessment of leadership, MS 300-level instruction uses the same context. While a measure of technical and tactical understanding of small-unit operations is necessary, the focus of instruction is on the leadership competencies. Much of the application and assessment of MS 300-level leadership instruction will be conducted using the Leadership Development Program (LDP) for out-of-class activities: leadership positions during labs and unit operations. The MS 301 semester begins with instruction in the Leadership Development Process (LDP) used throughout the academic year and at the National Advanced Leadership Camp (NALC) to assess and develop leadership. The MS 301 semester uses a defensive scenario because the planning requirements of the defense better facilitates the achievement of our learning objectives, and because defensive operations are more universally relevant to officers of all branches. Instruction in principles of war and purposes, fundamentals, and characteristics of the defense provides the necessary knowledge base for meaningful contextual treatment of the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP). Instruction in the decision-making, planning, and execution processes of the TLP are followed by a refocus on the critical leadership task of communicating the plan using the Operations Order format. An advanced leadership module addresses motivational theory and techniques, the role and actions of leaders, and risk assessment. The semester closes with instruction in small-unit battle drills to facilitate practical application and further leader development during Lab and FTX Squad Situational Training Exercises (STX). Prerequisite: MILS 201 MILS 0401 LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT 2 cr. This semester of the advanced course concentrates on leadership, management, and ethics and begins the final transition from cadet to lieutenant. The course focuses cadets, early in the year, on attaining knowledge and proficiency in several critical areas they will need to operate effectively as Army officers. These areas include coordinate activities with staffs, counseling theory and practice within the “Army Context,” training management, and ethics. The introduction of these subjects early in the MS-IV year has the added benefit of preparing cadets to lead the cadet battalion throughout the remainder of the year. While the proficiency attained in each of these areas will initially be at the apprentice level, cadets will continue to sharpen these skills as they perform their roles as cadet officers in the battalion and after commissioning. At the end of this semester, cadets should possess the fundamental skills, attributes, and abilities to operate as competent leaders in the cadet battalion and confidently communicate to subordinate cadets their preparedness to shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to them.
