L2HIS

Level 2 History

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Allen, Mr B. Carter.

 This course will explore two pivotal historical events that shaped the 20th century: Adolf Hitler's rise to power as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. Students will examine the causes and consequences of Hitler's appointment, including the impact on German society, the subsequent rise of the Nazi regime, and the lead-up to World War II. In studying the Civil Rights Movement, students will analyze the struggle for racial equality, key figures like Martin Luther King Jr., and significant events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington. Through these topics, students will develop critical thinking skills, engage with primary and secondary sources, and learn to assess the significance of historical events within a global context. The course will culminate in an internal assessment focusing on historical significance and an external examination.
