O-Level History (World Affairs 1917-1991)
By developing an interest in the past, the Cambridge O Level History syllabus improves learners' understanding of the social and cultural values of different times, both as a basis for further study and encouraging a life-long interest in the subject. Learners build both their historical knowledge and their skills in using historical concepts and explanatory tools. The syllabus covers the history of different areas of the world in the twentieth century, offering learners a choice of study from the history of Western Europe, the Americas, USSR and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and Asia, as well as a section on general international issues.
