History is vital to our understanding of the world around us and the forces that shape the present and the future. At A Level, History seeks to answer such significant questions such as: What causes civil wars and revolutions? How can individuals come to dominate their own and other countries? What forces bring about fundamental changes in society and politics? Why do some groups struggle to achieve equal rights? History does this through the study of particular events, individuals, and developments in British, European and American History.
