This is the first of a two-year, chronologically and thematically organized study of world history and geography. In this first year, students study the world from ancient times to 1500 CE. The course highlights the relationship between the geography and history of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Students examine the relationship among social, economic and geopolitical developments across time and place.
