AS History

UPDATED 20160527 14:30:36

The new History A-Level focuses in the first year on how the revolutions of England, in the 17th century, and France, in the 18th century, differ. Both involve the execution of their monarch, however, one gave rise to parliamentary democracy, while the other was the dawning of the modern age. In the second year you will either explore the nature of the witch craze that took hold in the late 16th century and the changing attitudes to magic and sorcery that eventually contributed to its decline - the social, economic, political and dimensions of the phenomenon, and the intellectual changes of what is often called the Age of Reason. Or you will consider developments that have shaped contemporary America and remain a fundamental issue in US society: the changing pattern of race relations between black and white Americans, both in terms of civil rights and also broader social and cultural changes over a period that began with millions of black Americans in slavery and ended with Barack Obama as President.
