What enabled Greek city-states to defeat the more powerful Persian Empire? What explains their subsequent descent into civil war? How was Rome able to build an empire of unprecedented size? Why did this empire ultimately collapse? Join instructor Emanuele Sica in this survey of the conduct of warfare and diplomacy in the era of Classical Greece and Rome. We’ll begin with an examination of the emergence of powerful city states in Greece before considering their conduct of the Greco-Persian Wars and investigating the causes, conduct and consequences of the Second Peloponnesian War, as well as the subsequent rise of Philip and Alexander of Macedon. We’ll turn then to focus on Rome, beginning with its foundations, followed by an examination of the Punic Wars, and moving on to explore the expansion and collapse of the Roman Empire. In addition to acquainting learners with the character of warfare and diplomacy in the classical period, this course will encourage the critical evaluation of the sources from which we derive our understanding of this period. By the end of this course, you'll be able to: Understand the conduct of warfare in the Classical period.  Understand the limitations of source materials pertaining to this period. Improve critical reading skills. Take part in scholarly debate surrounding warfare in the Classical period

The 20th century has been described as an “Age of Extremes,” when Europe became a “Dark Continent” in which the rival forces of liberal democracy, fascism and communism fought for domination. While fascism was ultimately defeated in 1945, and European communism fell in 1989-91, the victory of democracy was not inevitable: the “totalitarian temptation” was often present and may still lurk in various parts of the world today. This course explores Europe’s 20th century by focusing on the major events that spawned Italian Fascism, German National Socialism, Bolshevism, and Stalinism, and the political, social, economic and cultural consequences of these new ideologies. Provide a comparative approach to three models of totalitarian regimes, underlining their similarities and their differences Address the concept of “totalitarianism,” and questions whether it is a useful and accurate means of explaining and understanding the horrors inflicted by authoritarian regimes in the 20th century, or whether it is an outdated product of the Cold War.

'Peruse again and again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne, Eugene, and Frederick. Model yourself upon them. This is the only means of becoming a great captain, and of acquiring the secret of the art of war. Your own genius will be enlightened and improved by this study, and you will learn to reject all maxims foreign to the principles of the great commanders.' Napoleon I (1769 – 1823) This course is an introduction to the study of the evolution of strategy, war and conflict, from Ancient Greeks to the present. We’ll explore the ways war and armed conflict influence and are influenced by the structure, culture, and dynamics of human societies, and examine the reciprocal relationship between warfare and the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of human life, both during and after conflicts. Learn how these various aspects interconnect in warfare through an analysis of military conflict from 600BC-2017AD. By the end of this course, you'll be able to: Explain and understand the three contemporary levels of war:  strategic, operational and tactical.  Examine the evolution of warfare through the lens of the concept of the Western Way of War, understanding its strength and limits.

How and why do terrorist movements emerge, attract followers, and seek to influence societies? In this course learners will examine 19th and 20th-Century terrorist movements through a comparative historical lens. Through case studies and critical discussion, participants will explore the defining characteristics of terrorism and how it differs from other forms of political violence.  What do terrorist groups have in common, and what distinguishes the types of people who join such groups?  Can terrorism ever achieve its goals, or is it inevitably self-defeating?  Throughout the course, we will consider important factors such as religion, national identity, and ideology, and how these elements are used by terrorists in their recruiting, training, and propaganda efforts. Understand the evolution of terrorism as a strategy in modern history Analyze the evolution of counterterrorism and its social, cultural and political implications Contextualize and schematize the contemporary in light of the historical experiences of terrorism via ends, ways, means and organizations and steps taken to counter them.

How do military experiences shape national identity? Who decides which stories are remembered, and how? This inquiry-based course, developed through a partnership between the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies and Canada Company, invites learners to explore the history, legacy, and commemoration of Canadian military service. Across five modules, learners examine Canada’s evolving role in global conflict, the foundations and functions of the Canadian Armed Forces, and the narratives that shape national identity, including the enduring myth of Canada as a peacekeeper. Through case studies, personal histories, and community-based examples of commemoration, learners consider how military experiences are represented and how remembrance practices reflect broader social values, tensions, and debates. Using the tools of historical inquiry, learners will develop practical skills in research, source evaluation, critical analysis, and interpretation.   They will explore questions of positionality, bias, and perspective while learning how historians and researchers construct and assess evidence-based narratives. The course culminates in a digital storytelling project in which learners present a focused, research-informed interpretation of a topic connected to Canadian military history or commemoration. Guided through the process, from topic selection to final presentation, learners gain valuable experience communicating complex historical ideas to a broad audience. By the end of this course, learning will have a deeper understanding of how military service has been experienced, remembered, and commemorated, and how acts of remembrance continue to shape Canadian society today.
