The GCSE History course is based entirely in the twentieth century, and seeks to answer some of the most profound questions from the period: How could the ‘war to end all wars’ be followed in little more than twenty years by a second global conflict even more terrible than the first? How could a world unified in the defeat of Nazism become so fundamentally and so rapidly divided into two armed camps, ready it seemed to risk global annihilation in defence of ideology? How could a nation at the heart of Europe, with a proud history of artistic, musical and philosophical endeavour, find itself in thrall to a man like Hitler? How did the most powerful nation in history face and adapt to the challenges of democracy, the demand for female emancipation, and the mechanised slaughter of the First World War? These questions are answered in three papers, as follows: Paper 1International Relations I International Relations II Nazi Germany Depth Study Paper 2Great Britain Depth Study1900-1918, including the Liberal reforms, suffragists, suffragettes and female emancipation, the impact of the Great War on British society. This investigation is source-based.
