WWI is an excellent case study for great power politics, and a lot of the complexities of the causes of the war are not well explained in high school. Nationalism, industrialization, and the complex politics of the Balkans are not taught nearly as much as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the alliance system that also triggered the war. This course would focus on trends from the late 1800s up until 1914.
