History isn’t a subject that is stuck in the past. Far from it; historical events are what has shaped society worldwide into what it is today. Take the Magna Carta as a case in point. Signed in 1215, it was a charter which covered topics like taxes and citizen’s rights. But it didn’t exist in isolation because the Magna Carta wouldn’t have happened without the Norman Conquest of 1066. And there’s a direct line between the Magna Carta and the United States constitution which was signed in 1787 and remains a role model for governance even today. The History course can help you to understand many aspects of life in the contemporary world. Have you ever wondered how the USA became a superpower? Which British politician became embroiled in a sex scandal in the 1960s? Was America’s alcohol ban in the 1920s a success? Can I reach an informed opinion about Margaret Thatcher? Or maybe even Donald Trump!
