During this AS/A-Level course, you will explore why traditional political systems, such as the monarchy, were challenged by new ideas and revolutionary movements. You will look at how said events helped create a more democratic system of government, which includes the dictatorships and democracy in Germany and England. This course will also delve into how the world we all live in today has been shaped by wars and international tensions, such as the English Civil Wars, the Second World War, and the Cold War.
