Beginning in the Renaissance and continuing through the modern period, Modern World History examines historical eras through literature, science, theology, economics, and art. Specific topics include the Industrial Revolution, globalization, and the economic philosophies of capitalism, socialism, communism, and mercantilism/imperialism. Through creative hands-on projects, debates, primary source documents, and more, students explore the web of events that shaped our world today and learn how the actions of individuals can impact the course of world history.
