HISTORY: REVOLUTIONS
UNITS 3&4
UNIT 3
AREA OF STUDY 1 - Causes of revolution
In this area of study students analyse the long-term causes and short-term triggers of revolution. They evaluate how revolutionary outbreaks are caused by the interplay of significant events, ideas, individuals and popular movements and assess how these were directly or indirectly influenced by the social, political, economic and cultural conditions.
Students analyse significant events and evaluate how particular conditions profoundly influenced and contributed to the outbreak of revolution.
OUTCOME 1
On completion of this unit the student should be able to analyse the causes of revolution, and evaluate the contribution of significant ideas, events, individuals and popular movements.
AREA OF STUDY 2 - Consequences of revolution
n this area of study students analyse the consequences of the revolution and evaluate the extent to which it brought change to society. The success of the revolution was not inevitable; therefore, students analyse the significant challenges that confronted the new regime after the initial outbreak of revolution. Furthermore, they evaluate the success of the new regime’s responses to these challenges and the extent to which the consequences of revolution resulted in dramatic and wide reaching social, political, economic and cultural change, progress or decline.
As new orders attempted to consolidate power, post-revolutionary regimes were often challenged by those who opposed change. They may have unleashed civil war and counter-revolutions, making the survival and consolidation of the revolution the principal concern of the revolutionary state.
OUTCOME 2
On completion of this unit the student should be able to analyse the consequences of revolution and evaluate the extent of change brought to society.
