This course introduces different histories of the Modern era: that of the Islamic- Arab World with the beginning of the Madina as the beginning of the modern City state, and that of the Western-Christian/ Secular World and their transformation. In light of this, the course introduces modern history while looking on the concepts of: 1) the west: western-Christian, western secular, 2) understanding of the Islamic, Arab, and the Greek/ western city state, 3) histories of nationalism, wars and revolutions, and 4) histories of thought, philosophy and industrialization. This is while focusing on prime classical and modern literatures on the rise and fall of powers, states and civilizations. Course Goals: • Comprehend the existence of different civilizations within their contexts; • Draw primary relations between ideas proposed in different civilizations and their cultures by comparing and contrasting; • Provide sufficient knowledge on the contexts and stages of development of the different histories; • Address the main controversial issues at different phases of modern world history.
