HIST 367 - Latin American Coups/Dictators

Credit Hours: 3

This course examines Latin America’s military coups and dictatorships since 1810. Students will first explore how Iberian militarism and colonialism influenced the rise of military strongmen in the nineteenth century. Students will then analyze primary sources to gain an understanding of the political, economic, and cultural implications of authoritarianism. Other major topics include: left-wing/right-wing political ideologies, popular reactions and/or resistance to dictatorships, and U.S./Latin American relations.
