World History Class

Homework/In Class Assignments for Mr. Davey's

World History Class


Sophomore World History will cover the development of civilization to the modern era. We will follow the California State Framework by focusing the bulk of our time on the twentieth century. The first semester will focus on the development of democracy, technology, and religion in the world. As topics of study move to the 20th century, students should gain an understanding of the collapse of colonial empires, significance and consequences of various 20th century wars, the cold war and modern current events. Political ideologies, such as Fascism, Communism, Leninism, Democratic-Socialism, and Nazism will be explored along with the twentieth century's most reprehensible reoccurring event: the prevalence of genocide.
