WHP 1200 | Unit 9 Overview | World History Project

Globalization is a topic as big as it sounds. In a course that has examined how increased connections among people around the globe has changed the world since the year 1200, we now get a close look at the last century with Unit 9: Globalization from 1900 to Present. The view that our world is “flattening”—as we seem to merge into one big culture and economy—competes with an opposing view that the world is more “lumpy” due to widening gaps of inequality. As usual, you’re in good hands with Kim and Colby, who, from opposite ends of the globe, share a common goal of understanding this moment in our long history of globalization.
