Explaining World Wars

In this insightful guest lecture presented by Dr. Benjamin R. Cole at Simmons College in July 2014, the complexities of World Wars are examined through various analytical levels: system, state, and individual. Utilizing sources from the NYT Special Section on WWI, the presentation addresses the staggering human costs of the conflicts, including millions of military and civilian casualties. It also explores different theories of international relations—Realism, Liberalism, and Constructivism—and their implications for preventing future wars.
