The seminar focusses on the role of British dominions, colonies and client-states in the course of the Second World War. Beginning in September 1939, the world of the British Empire joined the world-wide conflict. Due to this empire, Great Britain was the only super-power of the interwar period. World War Two would change that forever. The war influenced the Empire’s societies on all continents – from Newfoundland in Northern America up to Tonga in Oceania. With a focus on countries like Canada, Australia and Egypt, in the seminar the students will analyze diplomatic and military files, newspaper articles and personal papers from British (colonial) subjects all over the globe. The seminar’s focus lies on diplomatic and economic history and a modern military history, which concentrates on the impact, which wars have on societies.
