In Year 12 History we start taking a deeper look at The Russian Revolution which was a defining event in world history. We will also look at a protest movement most likely, Hone Heke’s protest in the Bay of Islands that lead to The Northern War. We also complete an assessment on the treatment of the Chinese gold miners. Invited but not welcome.
