GCSE Modern History generally focuses on events from the late 19th century onwards. Key topics often include World War I and II, the Holocaust, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, and post-war developments like the Civil Rights Movement. The aim is to understand more recent historical events and their impact on today's world.
The GCSE History course can vary, but it commonly covers topics like the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, Britain’s changes during the Industrial Revolution, and international conflicts like the Cold War. Studying these helps you see how past actions and decisions continue to affect us today.
