GCSE Modern World History, Second Edition Student Book  (English, Paperback, Walsh Ben)

GCSE Modern World History is a comprehensive book for undergraduates studying world history. The book takes readers through the modern history of the world, studying events from the late nineteenth through the twentieth century. It teaches readers about the events which culminated in the two greatest catastrophes of recent times: the World Wars. Readers will enjoy reading about the forces which pushed the world to the brink of destruction and how the peace treaties after the end of the First World War directly led to the Second World War. It also covers the political balance of power between nations and the evolution of the United Nations in the aftermath of the League of Nations and the debacle that was the Second World War. Discussing the fall of the Third Reich and Hitler, the book progresses to explain the beginning of the Cold War, and the forces which saw the end of the Soviet Union, leading to the current state of the world. The book is a seminal read about world history of recent times and gives readers a holistic picture of the subject.
