| The course proper begins with an overview
of Europe in 1914. |

importance. We study
this in three parts. The first section examines the complex causes
of the war. |

World War are major topics which overlap between both Standard/Higher

Higher Level Subject 14. You might expect questions
on this topic in both Paper 2 (Standard Level) and Paper 3 (Higher
Level).
