We'll begin with Tsarist Russia 1855 to 1917. We look at what Russia was like under the final three tsars and the causes and effects of the Russian Revolutions of 1917. We look at the role of individuals and examine factors working for and against change. We also debate interpretations of events, issues and ideas. We'll then move on to Britain 1902-1918: The Impact of New Liberalism. We will investigate the impact of New Liberalism in both peace and war. You will gain an understanding of the nature of New Liberalism, its promotion of social and constitutional reform and the challenges it faced in both peace and war. The period allows for the development of an understanding of the relationships between ideas, individuals and wider forces.
