This is the story of the war that created the modern world and the part
the United States had in it. We will study the course of battle, the
experience of combat for American soldiers, the diplomacy of the grand
Alliance, and the war on the home front. Popular culture, especially
movies, had a lot to do with how the Good War has been remembered by
Americans, and we will look at how the war has survived in myth and
memory. Essay tests, one research paper.
