Western Civilization: The Struggle for Power in the 18th Century with Carol McCavitt (Zoom Only) Summer 2026

You are committing to participate in the Wednesday class via Zoom from your own device.  We will not have an in-person seat in the classroom available for you.

This semester we will return to Western Europe following the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714. England and France emerged as rival dominating powers resulting in The War of the Austrian Succession (1740) and the 7 Years War in 1756.
