HIST 356 - Modern Korea

Credits: 3

This class is a survey of modern Korea history from the late 18th century to the present. Special focus will be given to understanding how the two Koreas evolved into two different systems: authoritarian socialist North and democratic and market economy South. In an attempt to answer this question, this course covers themes such as imperialism, WW2, de-colonization, cold-war confrontation, modernization, and democratization.
