For thousands of years, military engagements between opposing nations and societies have had important effects on all aspects of human civilization. While the most direct and recognizable impacts of war are the victories and defeats that shape the course of history, warfare also affects human culture in ways that are not always appreciated or understood. Surprising as it may seem, war often creates as well as destroys. As the most complex of all human endeavors, warfarefrom ancient to modernhas spurred the growth of essential new technologies; demanded the adoption of complex economic systems; shaped the ideology and culture of nations; promoted developments in art and literature; and spread faith across the globe. Consider, for example, just a few intriguing facts about the important role of warfare in human history: The banking and credit systems that are mainstays of our culture developed as a specific response to the needs of war. Although wars often appear to emerge from conflict within political systems, in many cases such as the Ottoman Empire and the European nation-statesthe political systems themselves emerged from the activity of war. The New England colonies in the United States would probably never have survived economically if it were not for huge profits from piracy and privateering. Here, then, is a highly provocative encounter with history. In War and World History, celebrated military historian and Professor Jonathan P. Roth of San José State University offers you a fresh and challenging insight into human societies through a deep look at the effects and roles of war. These 48 lectures take you on an exploration of humanity's interface with armed conflict across five continents. But this is far from a traditional approach to military events.
