The course aims to provide an interesting variety between the histories of three major European countries (Britain, Germany and Italy), which have been specially chosen because there were so many fascinating and important historical characters involved in their development over the past two centuries. In addition to looking at events within these three countries, the course also examines their relationship with other European countries, and indeed with the rest of the world, so that students should acquire an excellent understanding of how the modern world has evolved.

5Bs at GCSE
