SUMMARY:The Second World War: From Global Conquest to a New World Order
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new 4-part series with Professor Stephen Berk\, following his February series on World War I\, as we delve into the transformative impact of World War II. This conflict not only accelerated the changes sparked by the Great War but also reshaped the global order\, marking the end of imperialism\, the rise of two superpowers\, and the dawn of the nuclear age. Each session will focus on a critical phase of the war: on March 2\, Hitler Conquers Europe: Only England Fights and Stalin Watches; on March 9\, Barbarossa: The Rising Sun Makes Its Move; on March 16\, Stalingrad\, Overlord\, and the Tide Turns in the Pacific; and on March 23\, On to Berlin: Iwo\, Okinawa\, and a Mushroom Cloud. A distinguished historian and CSP’s 10th Annual Scholar in Residence\, Professor Berk brings his expertise to this in-depth exploration of the war that redefined the 20th century. Presented by the Orange County Community Scholar’s Program and sponsored by TBS Adult Learning.\nRegister: t-b-s.me/secondworldwar\nStephen M.
