The challenges of teaching history are acute where we consider the
world history classroom. Generalized world history courses are a
part of many, if not most, K-12 curricular frameworks in the United
States. While United States history tends to dominate the
scholarship and conversation, there are an equally wide number of
middle-level and secondary students and teachers engaged in the
study of world history in our public schools. And the challenges
are real. In the first place, if we are to mark content coverage as
a curricular obstacle in the history classroom, generally, then we
must underscore that concern in the world history classroom and for
obvious reasons. The curricular terrain to choose from is immense
and forever expanding, dealing with the development of numerous
civilizations over millennia and across a wide geographic expanse.
In addition to curricular concerns, world historical topics are
inherently farther away from most students' lives, not just
temporally, but often geographically and culturally. Thus the
rationale for the present text, Hollywood or History? An
Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach World History. The
reviews of the first volume Hollywood or History? An Inquiry-Based
Strategy for Using Film to Teach Untied States History strategy
have been overwhelmingly positive, especially as it pertains to the
application of the strategy for practitioner. Classroom utility and
teacher practice have remained our primary objectives in developing
the Hollywood or History? strategy and we are encouraged by the
possibilities of Volume II and the capacity of this most recent
text to impact teaching and learning in world history. We believe
that students' connection to film, along with teachers' ability to
use film in an effective manner, will help alleviate some of the
challenges of teaching world history. The book provides 30
secondary lesson plans (grades 6-12) that address nine eras in
world history.

World War I was a bloodletting so vast and unprecedented that for a generation it was known simply as the Great War. Casualty lists reached unimagined proportions as the same ground -- places like Ypres and the Somme -- was fought over again and again. Other major bloody battles remain vivid in memory to this day: Gallipoli and the Battle of Jutland are but two examples. Europe was at war with itself, and the effect on Western civilization was profound, its repercussions felt even today. World War I saw the introduction of modern technology into the military arena: The tank, airplane, machine gun, submarine, and -- most lethal of all -- poison gas, all received their first widespread use. Professor Stokesbury analyzes these technological innovations and the war's complex military campaigns in lucid detail. At the same time he discusses the great political events that unfolded during the war, such as the Russian Revolution and the end of the Hapsburg dynasty, putting the social and political side of the war into the context of modern European history. A Short History of World War I is the first history of this war to be written in twenty years. It incorporates recent research and current thinking about the war in a highly readable and lively style.
