Global History - v. 2 : Industrial Revolution to the Age of Globalisation

An Age of Revolution, Continued (1826-1914), Era VI.

A Half Century of Crisis and Achievement (1900-1945), Era VII.

The 20th Century (1945-2000), Era VIII. The 21st Century. The text is supplemented with multiple-choice questions, thematic essays, and document-based questions, plus hundreds of maps, charts, and illustrations.

A teacher's manual is also available.
