Course summary

History has created modern society and is important in the world we live in. People mistakenly see history as something 'fixed' when in fact the past is open to interpretation and history changes. The victors re-write their nation's past and give it their own 'spin'. Ignorance of history prevents us from putting current world conflicts into their proper context. Study History and you will never be taken in by 'spin' or become a victim of propaganda. You will always demand: 'Where is the evidence? Prove what you claim is true.'
