Richard A. Cosgrove
Join award-winning historian Richard Cosgrove, for a detailed examination of WWII, one of the most devastating conflicts in human history.
WWII was a direct consequence of the aftermath of World War I. The Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, marked the end of World War I, but it also laid the foundation for World War II, leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. The legacy of the war has been far-reaching, including the formation of the United Nations, the creation of the European Union and significant social and economic changes in many countries.
From the Great Depression and the rise of Fascism to the Invasion of Normandy and the famous Battle of the Bulge, we’ll consider the context of events and the continuing influence of WWII.
