Course Description
In this course, students examine major turning points in the shaping of the modern world,
from the late eighteenth century to the present. The course will begin with an examination of
current world issues, and will then proceed to connect with students past learning by studying
the rise of democratic ideas. Other major topics will include: The Industrial Revolution, the
rise of Imperialism and Colonialism, World War I, Totalitarianism in the 20th Century, the

controversial issues.

Rationale
The students of the Antelope Valley High School District will spend their adult lives in the
twenty-first century. This curriculum emphasizes the importance of studying major historical
events of the twentieth century in depth as opposed to superficial skimming of enormous
amounts of material and often unnecessary repetition of material. The emphasis on the law
and government structure in the cultures and time periods examined is designed to provide the
student with a better understanding of the development of U.S. government and law.
