HIST 365 - Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in Modern History

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | 
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
In 1979, three separate events in three different countries marked the beginning of a new era of politics and religion in western Asia. A revolutionary Islamic government took control in Iran, a religiously-motivated military dictator took power in Pakistan, and the USSR invaded Afghanistan, triggering the Afghan Jihad. This course will explore the history leading up to the events of 1979 in the context of global events and political change and religious thought in Western Asia. It will then go on to examine the consequences of these events as they have played out into the new millennium.
