Course Content

War, as one of humanity's oldest activities, deeply affects both individuals and societies. This course will provide theoretical knowledge about the types of war and the fundamental approaches to why wars occur. Additionally, the political, social, economic, and psychological dimensions of war will be examined. Revolutions, on the other hand, are profound changes occurring in the political and economic structures of societies. After providing general information about the processes of revolutions, some revolutions of great significance in world history (the French, English, American, and Russian Revolutions) will be examined in detail. The connection between these revolutions and war will be explained with examples.
