Course Statement:

By studying the past, students will be able to understand the world and NZ as they are today. By analysing differing perspectives, it leads to greater understanding of people’s viewpoints and actions.

We have focussed on three of the major historical contexts which dominated the 20th century; the Origins of World War Two, the Arab/Israeli conflict - an issue still ongoing today, and the Cold War and how this impacted on New Zealand.

Skills taught will be source analysis, research, extended writing and the importance of seeing issues through the differing perspectives of people.

Topics Covered:

• International Relations 1919-39 (Origins of World War 2)
• Palestine/Israel Conflict
• International Relations 1945-1991 (The Cold War)
