History

Course summary

The History GCSE course focuses on some of the key events and periods of the Twentieth Century. Pupils study four areas of European and World history: the origins and course of the First World War, the history of Germany between the world wars, the development and key events of the Cold War and the history of conflict in the Middle East. As such the subject not only provides pupils with a knowledge of the twentieth century, but it also gives them an excellent understanding and context for events today and of the world around them.
