This unit builds upon work that pupils have done on earlier units that deal with conflict, such as in unit 5 'Elizabeth I', unit 8 'The civil wars' and unit 14 'The British Empire'. It is intended to serve two purposes: first, to 'set the scene' for more detailed studies to follow for pupils who opt for History at GCSE; and second, to act as a 'rounding-off unit' for pupils who do not wish to continue with History at GCSE. It is suggested that this unit could be linked with unit 19 'The Holocaust' and unit 22 'The role of the individual'. Links could be made with unit 9I 'Energy and electricity' in the science scheme of work.
