HIEU 339 - Humanitarianism and the Two World Wars3 Credit Hours This course explores the catastrophic impact of the two world wars on European societies and how these crises shaped ideas of human rights and humanitarianism. Focusing primarily on the period 1914-1948, we will consider how governments, relief organizations, and international organizations framed discussions of human rights, sought to alleviate suffering, and create a more peaceful world. In addition to considering how human rights and humanitarian aid was envisioned by state actors and relief organizers, the students will also look at the actual application of these ideas and how populations experienced humanitarianism.
