Second semester of World History will focus on the world since the year 1400. The world has undergone a massive transition in the modern era from a group of mostly isolated cultures spread out across the different corners of the globe, to an increasingly interconnected patchwork of states connected by languages, religions, economies, and political systems. The modern era is a tale of unification and consolidation of the world's territories into nation-states and empires By looking at historical figures and events we will seek out an understanding of how and why the world has developed to its’ current state. Throughout the course of the year students will be analyzing primary and secondary sources in order to expand their historical knowledge and develop necessary skills.
