Crisis and Conflict takes the approach that history is a process of enquiry, the same approach that underpins the revised GCE ‘O’ level History syllabus (2007 – 2011). Crisis and Conflict is designed to develop students’ ability to investigate and evaluate source materials.

In each chapter, meaningful, thought provoking questions and activities help students to deepen their understanding and appreciation of 20th century history. Crisis and Conflict replaces Milestones and Inroads, the two titles that have been superseded with the introduction of the new syllabus. This textbook offers the following features that enhance students’ understanding and develop the required history skills.

Theme 1 Impact of World War
Theme 2 Hopes for a Better world
Theme 3 The breadown of world order
Theme 4 A world divided and united
