iGCSE History students will learn about twentieth century international relations from the peace treaties which concluded World War One through to the beginning of World War Two, and how these two key world events were linked. From 1945, the end of World War Two, we examine the causes and effects of the Cold War.
Students will also study the rise of Hitler as the depth study; how did he come to prominence, why did people vote for him, how were people affected by Hitler’s actions? These are all questions we seek to answer in iGCSE History.
