Full course description
Warfare is one of the most dramatic ways in which humans interact with their environment. Nature can be both enemy and ally, casualty and beneficiary. It is always central to the progress and outcome of armed conflict. We will explore wars large and small, from the colonial period to the twentieth century, highlighting the role played by non-human nature. Topics will include disease and the American Revolution, animals and the US Civil War, and the natural resources fueling the First World War.
