Year 1 British History – The study of the development of the modern British state from a country struggling to win a small war in 1906 and then avoids a Civil War, arguably thanks to the intervention of the First World War. The year concludes with the onset of an economic depression having the Liberal welfare reforms, the challenges in Ireland, the campaign for female suffrage, the growth of the Labour Party and the impact of the First World War. Did Britain benefit from the First World War? American History – This course begins by evaluating the extent to which America was able to heal the divisions which had been wrought by slavery and civil war. We look at the corruption, ineffective government and economic growth which characterise the period 1865 to 1890 and then go on to examine the changes in politics, society and America’s foreign role which culminated in it achieving great power status by 1920. Coursework – Students complete a research essay of around 4000 words which covers a one-hundred year period of time focusing on the Tudor dynasty. Students look at the strength of the Tudor monarchs & consider the key reasons for instability. Year 2 British History – We look at the enormous impact of the Great Depression on 1930s Britain and evaluate whether the label “the Hungry Thirties” is accurate to describe the period. We go on to analyse the consequences of the Second World War and the social and economic changes which led to the creation of the welfare state and the post-war consensus. American History – We look at the period between 1920 and 1975, starting with the economic and social policies of FDR’s New Deal and the cultural changes which characterised the “Roaring Twenties” and the 1930s. We examine the divisions in American society during this time and the USA’s subsequent role during the Second World war and as leader of the Free World during the Cold war. We complete the course by analysing the divisions and reforms of the 1960s and America’s consolidation as a superpower by 1975.
