This course is a study of the history of aviation in the United States Army from 1861 to present day. By extension, portions of this course comprise a study of the early history of the United States Air Force as well. To avoid redundancy with other course offerings, and to properly acknowledge the tactical and operational nature of Army aviation, this course does not address the development and employment of strategic airpower. Additionally, its side-steps a detailed operational history of Army aviation, as this subject is also adequately covered in other courses. Students will, however, examine individual operational case studies in pursuit of course learning objectives. |

This course analyzes modern European history since the 1815 Congress of Vienna with particular emphasis upon national security. Nearly two centuries have passed since the Congress of Vienna in 1815. These years have been filled with such dramatic and rapid changes, social, economic, cultural and political as to make it almost impossible to write about them in a single volume. Yet, these have been years in which certain historical experiences were common to Europe as a whole, and in which European developments were sharply differentiated from those in most other parts of the world. They were also years in which the course of European history profoundly affected society in countries outside Europe. This course focuses in large part upon the great mass movements which have provided the main themes of the history of the past century--liberalism, imperialism, fascism, socialism, communism--these movements have been described in their historical context. |
