Colonialism and Post-Colonial Struggles

Overview

Colonialism shaped modern History, World History, International Relations, and Geography more than almost any other force. The course Colonialism and Post-Colonial Struggles examines how empires expanded, how colonies resisted, and how the post-colonial world continues to grapple with this legacy.

This is a low commitment training—you don’t need years of study to gain valuable insights into how colonialism transformed nations and continues to affect global systems. Instead, you’ll get a clear, accessible path to understanding how History, World History, International Relations, and Geography were reshaped by colonial powers.

⚠️ But don’t delay: this is a limited offer. We will not offer Colonialism and Post-Colonial Struggles again. If you want to deepen your understanding of global history, this is your chance.
