SYLLABUS DRAFT FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY Hist 351/ PWAD 351 Global History of Warfare Prof. Wayne Lee wlee@unc.edu 400 Hamilton 962-3973 (dept phone) 1. PURPOSE: Historians are increasingly interested in the movement of ideas, goods, and even institutions from one society to another. World history has long been defined as the study of connections--connections often invisible when societies are examined only from within a national or even regional perspective. The point to the study of world history is not merely to be comparative (examining, for example, feudalism in Japan compared to feudalism in Europe), but to explore the many ways that human societies are constantly responding to change around them, often change generated by activities of which they have no knowledge. Military phenomena are a crucial component of this story. Change or innovation by one society that proves more effective than its neighbors often produces a ripple effect in surrounding societies as they try to adapt to the changed threat. Change also can proceed along global lines of connection independent of a sense of threat. Exploring the process of global military interaction and response to innovation is complicated. Traditionally the field has been defined by the study of the movement of technology. But military historians are increasingly interested in the spread of ideas as well. This course will examine the broad sweep of human military experience on a global scale, focusing on the themes of precedent, innovation, and legacy. We will not try to construct a single narrative of military experience, nor will we try to examine every society at every time. Although broadly inclusive of many times and places, we will follow several innovations in military practice as their implications careened around the globe. 2.

RESEARCH PAPERS: Two Research papers are required. Both papers should be 5-7 typed pages (1250-1800 words). For each paper you must compare two innovations in military experience and practice (techniques, weapons, organizations, etc.) and explore how each evolved from its originating society, its military success, and what factors promoted and/or limited its success. Do this for both innovations, looking for differences in the process. Remember the course themes: Precedent, Connections, Legacy. The first paper must deal with innovations prior to 1700. The second paper with innovations from the period after 1700. We will discuss the methods you should use for writing these papers as the class progresses, and I will pass out a list of sample innovations in class. The first paper is due March 1; the second on April 24. 4. EXAMS: There will be four quizzes and a final exam. Each quiz will be primarily factual, designed to test your comprehension of the reading and the lectures, and covering only material discussed since the previous quiz.
