An examination of war and military institutions in western society since the end of the Middle Ages.

This course on Modern Military History concentrates on those regions of the world where the ends, ways and means of war developed and advanced furthest and where the resultant political, economic, social and cultural impact was greatest. Major themes in this course include Military Revolutions and the notion of a "Western Way of War." As such, this course covers the period c. 1300 to the 20th Century beginning in Europe (including the Ottoman Empire) and expanding to include the economically advanced portions of North America after the 18th Century. The course addresses developments in Asia and South America only insofar as they influenced the theory and practice of war in the periods and regions described above.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
