History 132

Apologies to podcast subscribers -- I goofed last week and somehow neglected to turn on my recorder at the start of class. Bummer. It was a good lecture, much more coherent than this.
But since it's Blame Someone Else Day (I'm not kidding -- look it up), I'm going to blame my 9-month-old baby. As for the lecture itself, it covers the debate over the Philippines, Indian assimilation, and Teddy Roosevelt's strange ideas about manliness and nationhood.

Destroy the country in order to save it.

Back from break. This lecture addresses the origins of the second World War and examines the factors that led to US entry into the war.

Brother, Can you Spare a Dime?
Lecture covers the origins of the Great Depression, the consequences for different groups of Americans, and the political outcomes for Hoover and Roosevelt.

Not always so jazzy.
Lecture covers the debates about the League of Nations, global influence of the US during the 1920s -- politically, economically, militarily -- as well as the reactions against immigration during the post-WWI era.
