Curriculum Map: AP European History Course: SS-AP EUR HISTORY Sub-topic: General Grade(s): 11 to 12 Course Description Course Textbooks, Workbooks, Materials Citations The AP European History course focuses on developing students understanding of European history from approximately 1450 to the present. The course has students investigate the content of European history for significant events, individuals, developments, and processes in four historical periods, and develop and use the same thinking skills and methods (analyzing primary and secondary sources, making historical comparisons, chronological reasoning, and argumentation) employed by historians when they study the past. The course also provides five themes (interaction of Europe and the world; poverty and prosperity; objective knowledge and subjective visions; states and other institutions of power; and individual and society) that students explore throughout the course in order to make connections among historical developments in different times and places.

Unit: 1648-1815 Subject: Social Studies Timeline: Week 10 to 21 Purpose: This unit studies European culture and history from 1648-1815. Students will explore the changes in political models through the 18th century, evaluate the changes in commerce and economics, and analyze the cultural and intellectual impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. Students will also study how political and intellectual shifts changed European culture. Comparing and contrasting the 17th and 18th century to the Renaissance and Reformation provides students good insight into the changes in European culture. The intellectual shifts in the 18th century affected not only European society but world politics. Changes in this second period sparked revolution and rebellion well into the 19th and 20th century, and still provide foundations for governments today. Stage One - Desired Results Enduring Understandings:What will students understand (about what big ideas) as a result of the unit? "Students will understand that..." Essential Questions:What arguable, recurring, and thoughtprovoking questions will guide inquiry and point toward the big ideas of the unit? In a society, individuals and groups develop systems to manage conflict and create order. Societies must balance the rights and responsibilities of individuals with the common good. People are affected by environmental, economic, social, biological, cultural, and civic concerns. People respond to and resolve conflicts in a variety of ways. History involves interpretation; historians can and do disagree. Scientific and technological developments are transformative and affect people s lives, culture, behavior, and the environment. Why and how do societies develop ways to manage conflict and create order? Why is it important that societies balance the rights and responsibilities of individuals with the common good? How does culture impact environmental, economic, social, and civic issues? How do different groups of people resolve conflict? How can conflicts be prevented? How do various interpretations contribute towards a greater understanding of history? How do science and technology impact society? Learning Targets: I can...

Assess the relative influence of economic, religious, and political motives in promoting exploration and colonization. Explain how European expansion and colonization brought non-european societies into global economic, diplomatic, military, and cultural networks. Assess the impact of war, diplomacy, and overseas exploration and colonization on European diplomacy and balance of power until 1789. Explain the role of social inequality in contributing to and affecting the nature of the French Revolution and subsequent revolutions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Analyze how new political and economic theories from the 17th century and the Enlightenment challenged absolutism and shaped the development of constitutional states, parliamentary governments, and the concept of individual rights. Assess the role of colonization, the Industrial Revolution, total warfare, and economic depressions in altering the government s relationship to the economy, both in overseeing economic activity and in addressing its social impact. Explain the emergence of representative government as an alternative to absolutism. Assess the impact of war, diplomacy, and overseas exploration and colonization on European diplomacy and balance of power until 1789.

Unit: 1815-1914 Subject: Social Studies Timeline: Week 21 to 28 Purpose: The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy began in Great Britain in the 18th century, spread to France and Germany between 1850 and 1870, and finally spread to Russia in the 1890's.

Unit: 1914-Present Subject: Social Studies Timeline: Week 29 to 37 Purpose: European politics and diplomacy in the 20th century were defined by total war and its consequences. WWI destroyed the balance of power, and the treaty of Versailles, which ended the war, created unstable conditions in which extremist ideologies emerged the challenged liberal democracies and the post war settlement. The breakdown of this settlement led to WWII. At the end of WWII, the the economic and political devastation left a power vacuum that facilitated the Cold War division of Europe, as well as led to the decline of European colonialism. - Total War and political instability in the first half of the 20th century gave way to a polarized state order during the Cold War and eventually led to efforts at transnational union. - The stresses of economic collapse and total war engendered internal conflicts within European states and created conflicting conceptions of the relationship between the individual and the state, as demonstrated in the ideological battle between liberal democracy, communism, and fascism. - During the 20th century, diverse intellectual and cultural movements questioned the existence of objective knowledge, the ability of reason to arrive at truth, and the role of religion on determining moral standards. - Demographic changes, economic growth, total war, disruptions of traditional social patterns, and competing definitions of freedom and justice altered the experiences of everyday life.
