U.S. Military History

This online course is a military history of the United States, spanning from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism. Taught through a combination of the text "For the Common Defense: A Military History of the United States from 1607-2012" and in-class presentations and lectures, the course covers major themes, tactics, battles, weaponry, industrialization, and personnel for all branches of the military. The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the history of the U.S. military, with a particular focus on the experiences of soldiers. The course is limited to students in grades 10-12 due to the mature and potentially distressing nature of the material.
