2 Course Pathway Prescribed Subject World History Topics HL Option Historical Investigation Rights and Protests: Authoritarian States (20th Century) The Cold War: Superpower tensions and rivalries (20th century) History of the Americas: Students choose any three questions from the two topics: Civil rights and social movements in the Americas post-1945 Both SL and HL students opt for one 2500 word investigation. Examples could include; To what extent did the Montgomery Bus Boycott significantly further the Civil Rights Movement in America Political Developments in Latin America ( ) Prescribed Topic HL and SL Rights and Protest -This prescribed subject focuses on struggles for rights and freedoms in the mid-20th century. Two case studies are prescribed, from two different regions of the world, and both of these case studies must be studied. The first case study explores the civil rights movement in the US between 1954 and the passing of the Voting Rights Act in The second case study explores protests against apartheid in South Africa. It focuses specifically on the years , beginning with the election of the National Party in 1948 and ending with the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela and his co-defendants following the Rivonia trial in 1964.

3 World History Topics HL and SL Authoritarian States (20th century) This topic focuses on exploring the conditions that facilitated the rise of authoritarian states in the 20th century, as well as the methods used by parties and leaders to take and maintain power. The topic explores the emergence, consolidation and maintenance of power, including the impact of the leaders policies, both domestic and foreign, upon the maintenance of power. Examination questions for this topic will expect students to make reference to specific authoritarian states in their responses, and some examination questions will require discussion of states from more than one region of the world. In order for students to be able to make meaningful comparisons across all aspects of the prescribed content, it is recommended that a minimum of three authoritarian states should be studied. Students will be focusing on Hitler, Castro and Stalin, which will enable overlap for Paper 3. The Cold War: Superpower tensions and rivalries (20th century) The Cold War dominated global affairs from the end of the Second World War to the early 1990s. This topic focuses on how superpower rivalries did not remain static but changed according to styles of leadership, strength of ideological beliefs, economic factors and crises involving client states. The topic aims to promote an international perspective on the Cold War by requiring the study of Cold War leaders, countries and crises from more than one region of the world. Students will focus on Castro and Truman as the comparative for regional leaders. They will also study the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Blockade as the comparative in the crises, again using the Americas region to aid in the preparation for Paper 3. History of the Americas - HL Paper 3 Civil rights and social movements in the Americas post-1945 This section focuses on the origins, nature, challenges and achievements of civil rights movements after Movements represented the attempts to achieve equality for groups that were not recognized or accepted as full members of society. The groups challenged established authority and entrenched attitudes. Students will study the African American Civil Rights Movements, Feminists Movements, Youth Popular Culture, and also Native American Rights in the Americas. Through the overlap of The Prescribed topic on Rights and Protest, students will study P1 and P3 alongside each other. Political Developments in Latin America ( )

Is knowledge of the past ever certain? Does the study of history widen our knowledge of human nature? Can history help in understanding the present or predicting the future? To what extent does emotion play a role in an historian s analysis? Is (historical) objectivity possible? Why do accounts of the same historical event differ? Whose history do we study? What determines how historians select evidence and describe/interpret or analyse events? What problems are posed for the study of history by changes in language and culture over time? Can history be considered in any sense scientific?

25 History Topic All topics All topics Authoritarian rulers, The Second World War, and Civil Rights All topics Global Understanding Concept Social justice will be discussed somewhat in wars and in particular, World War II. However, it is a clear topic of study for the Treaty of Versailles and the study of authoritarian leaders. Values and Perceptions As an integral part of the study of history, this is a concept that will be discussed in all units of study. In particular, students will look at the values and perceptions of primary sources and historians Interdependence The study of history is the study of relationships and interconnectedness. This is evident in wars, in particular, alliances. Human Rights Human rights will very clearly be investigated under authoritarian rulers. It also is an important part of the Civil Rights unit and sub-topics under World War II, such as the treatment of Japanese-Americans and Canadians as well as the holocaust. Diversity and Perspectives Like values and perceptions, perspectives are an important part of historiography and source analysis.
