History of the Middle East, the last 1000 years
OLLI Workshop - Spring 2015
Catalog Description: We start with the Turkish invasion
that triggered the Crusades, and then cover the Ottoman Empire whose policies
planted the seeds of the modern problems. Then we discuss the 20th century
upheavals and review the current state of affairs and what it means for
the future of the region.
Plans
We will cover selected material from that listed in the main
page of Middle East History. In particular, Chapters 11 and 12 will be covered in abbreviated
form, Chapters 13-21 in their current form, and Chapter 22 will be expanded
to include current events.
