Course objectives:
|
The aim of this course is to introduce the historical development of Great Britain from ancient times to the present, in connection to other countries in which English played an important role, either as means of communication or as an official language, i.e. the history of the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the South African Republic. For a better understanding of history and of the present, historical events and processes will be considered alongside world and European events.
