American Civil War

Interesting and helpful article - especially for A2 students - on the transformative nature of the US Civil War in this month's 'History Today'. Tracing its origins back to Waterloo, and its impact forward to the industrial wars of the twentieth century, it is well worth a read.

Vietnam videos

Two introductory videos on Vietnam from youtube have now been added to the 'History on Youtube' link bar at the left. They cover the initial US involvement, and then carry links to further episodes in the series.

New Web Page

There is a new web page with links to a number of the powerpoint presentations used in lessons. These are mainly China powerpoints for the AS students, although a couple of A2 warfare powerpoint are there as well, with more to be added.

We will also try and tidy up this blog to make it more helpful for students.
