Students will study Russia: 1855 to 1964, focusing on the last of the Tsars, the background to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the overthrow of the monarchy during the Revolution, and communism in Russia under Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev. They will also study France: 1774 to 1815, which will provide an interesting contrast, enabling them to study the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. In addition they will study England: 1485 to 1558, which will enable them to focus on something closer to home. It will enable them to explore the reigns of the first four Tudors (Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary), the evolution of English foreign policy, and the Break from Rome. A particular focus is placed on the Mid-Tudor Crisis, the period from 1547 to 1558 during which England weathered numerous rebellions, coup d’états, and wars, and (some would argue) came close to falling apart. Each of these three units will be assessed through external examinations. Finally students will produce a single piece of coursework on a topic of their choice.
