Course Description:

Have you ever wondered how the world might look if one key moment in history had gone differently? What if? Alternative History explores exactly that question. It’s the idea that if one event had changed, the entire course of history might have taken a different path.

Historians use alternate history to think critically about cause and effect — to understand how small decisions can shape nations and futures. Writers and filmmakers, on the other hand, use it to build fascinating “what if” worlds that challenge our understanding of reality and truth.
