World History, 1750-Present

About This Course

This course follows the state course of study for World History. We begin the year by examining what history is and what a historian does, and then study the major types of governments, economic systems, and religions that exist around the world. We then study a number of major topics (listed on the left hand side of this page), bringing our study of the world up to the present day.
