European History Advanced Placement develops an understanding of the main themes in modern European history, including political and diplomatic, intellectual and cultural, and social and economic history. Analyzing historical evidence and reading critical literary narratives are integrated into the chronologically ordered whole picture of the modern history of Europe. Using a college-level textbook, this course begins with the Renaissance and concludes with the demise of communism in Eastern Europe, the reunification of Germany, and the crisis of global terrorism. European History Advanced Placement is a course based on content established by the College Board. Students will be required to take the College Board AP European History exam in May.
