MODERN BRITAIN: DEMOCRACY, WAR, AND MODERNITY

Code: HIST116

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This module provides students with an introduction to modern British history.   It broadens their existing understanding by first considering factors of a general importance in the development of modern Britain, and then looking at particular events and themes.   In this way, students will be given a grasp both of broad themes in British history – such as demographics, political units, ideologies and social change – and of the specific way history unfolded at key moments and turning points.
