A One-Year History Program Designed for Jr./Sr. High
This third installment in our world history series will send you hurtling back to the time of royals and revolutionaries. A time of vast change, you’ll be there to witness the strong and forward leadership in England and France, and watch events unfold that send both these countries into revolutionary periods. You’ll be surprised by how many changes transpire in just a few centuries, as you tour the world with explorers, step off into the unknown with colonists, and marvel at the new gadgets and inventions that push technology forward in the Industrial Revolution.
You’ll also take a hard look at the darker sides of these movements, spending time pondering the plight of native peoples displaced and decimated by the drive for empire. You’ll see revolutions take their toll in human lives and languish in the despondence of factories and workhouses created by the Industrial Revolution.
Along the way, you’ll meet the larger-than-life characters of this age like Elizabeth I, Louis XIV, Peter the Great, Isaac Newton, George Washington, Napoleon, and Queen Victoria. You’ll also find people to admire in our “Christians of Character” focus.
