The notes bring together topics in international relations and recent history. History Topics Summary is a useful starting point for studying the Cold War: it lists origins, areas of conflict and US containment policy. For a different focus, the notes on the evolution of the European Union outline motives for European integration.
Other notes look at the United Nations and its secretaries-general. History Terms includes globalization and the Pacific Ocean world, while The Arctic discusses globalization and markets.
Study with notes
Choose a topic and read a section at a time. Write down the terms or events it mentions, then see whether you can explain them without looking. Return to the note when you need to check a detail.
If you want to test your recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page. A mind map can also help you organize connections between topics. Try studying a section of notes before choosing another format.
