Turning Points in Modern History
Course no. 8032 | 24 lectures (30 minutes/lecture)Examine History’s
Watershed Moments
What do the fall of Constantinople, the French Revolution, and the
invention of the Internet have in common? If any one of these turning
points had not occurred, or had happened differently, the trajectory
of modern history—and even your own life—would have been
dramatically altered.
In 24 riveting lectures, Turning Points in Modern History tells the
amazing story of how life as we know it developed. Taught by award-
winning history professor Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius of the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville, this course takes you on a far-reaching journey
around the globe—from China to the Americas—to shed light on how
two dozen of the top discoveries, inventions, political upheavals, and
ideas since the year 1400 shaped the modern world.
