In AP World History: Modern, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from 1200 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections; and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change over time. The course provides six themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make connections among historical developments in different times and places: humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation.
In the first semester students will learn about the Global Tapestry, the Network of Exchange, the impact of Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Connections and Revolutions.
In the second semester students will investigate the Consequences of the Industrial Revolution, The Global Conflicts of the 1900s, The Cold War and Decolonialization as well as Globalization.
