The course was designed to provide students with working knowledge in the events that shaped the people, times, social structure, geography, and future of the World as it has developed from the era of Absolutism to the 20th Century. The course will provide basic and in-depth knowledge of the history and politics that swept across the World during the last 500 years. It is our intention that students develop a more global perspective in order to foster a tolerant and well-rounded school and social community.
