The AQA History A-Level course considers important events that shaped England and the wider world. Students study the establishment and rule of the Tudors from 1485 – 1603, investigating why Henry Tudor, a Welshman, who was raised in Brittany was able to invade England and usurp power. What was different about his rule? What opposition did he face? How was he able to pass his crown to his son, Henry VIII, without resistance? At the heart of this is a study into the impact on different groups within society – politically, economically, socially and religiously. Additionally, the unit on International Relations (1890 – 1941) will look at modern history, acquiring an understanding as to why something as catastrophic as the First World War occurred, and why the peacemakers of 1919 were unable to prevent a second world war, one that was to prove far more devastating than the last. Should students continue their history studies into Year 13, there will be an opportunity to formulate a personal study whereby a question is devised and research is carried out in order to answer it – students will very much do the job of the historian in finding, analysing and evaluating evidence in order to reach a justified conclusion!
