History

Studying GCSE History will help you to answer important questions such as: Why do wars happen? Why do we have a welfare system? How have we come to live in a multi-cultural society? Learning about past events and the people who’ve influenced history will allow you to understand how the world got to the point it’s at now and how it will continue to develop in the future.
