Course summary

Year 12 History Paper 1 - Britain, 1625–1701: conflict, revolution and settlement - This option comprises a study in breadth, in which students will learn about key features of monarchical and republican rule in Britain in the seventeenth century set within the context of broader social, economic and religious change. The events of this period saw a decisive shift in the balance of power between crown and parliament and laid the foundations for our government today. The focus of study is on developments and changes over a broad timescale and so the content is presented as themes spanning a significant duration: 1625–88. This option also contains a study in depth of historical interpretations on a broad question that is contextualised by, and runs on from, the themes: how revolutionary, in the years to 1701, was the Glorious Revolution of 1688–89? Paper 3 - Civil rights and race relations in the USA 1850-2009 - This option comprises two parts: the aspects in breadth focus on long-term changes and contextualise the aspects in depth, which focus in detail on key episodes. Together, the breadth and depth topics explore developments that have shaped contemporary America and remain important in US society: the changing pattern of race relations between black and white Americans, both in terms of civil rights and also broader social and cultural changes over a period that began with millions of black Americans in slavery and ended with Barack Obama as president.
