This site is what you will use next year to navigate this course. It is currently being updated as we are switching textbooks, due to the previous text book’s raise in cost. Each Section that we cover will be based on your textbook Chapters and all work/assignments can be found here. Please do not work ahead as things will be changing with the new textbook. This will be finished at the start of school in August (hopefully).

Below is a list of books you will need during the course of the year:

New Textbook: Merriman, John. A History of Modern Europe: From Renaissance to the Present. 4th edition. Norton & Company, New York 2019.
