The Year 1979 was a pivotal year that shaped the world we know today. This class will examine several major events of 1979 -- the Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis, the Soviet census of that year showing a population explosion in Central Asia, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to name a few -- and their repercussions on the world from the 1980s to the present.
