World History II - HIST220L (Early College)

Early College Online is a program offered in partnership with VLACS and the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), offering high school students the opportunity to earn high school and college credit for taking online college-level courses taught by CCSNH faculty.

This survey course covers the historical development of various representative world cultures and civilizations from approximately 1500 to the present. Areas covered include: European expansion and conquest; the development of the “modern” political and economic systems; the rise and fall of “empires”; the Industrial Revolution; the Enlightenment and its influence; the development of the modern nation-state; imperialism, colonialism, and nationalism. Students will understand history as not only WHO, WHAT, WHERE, and WHEN but will understand the “WHY”.
