Description
Welcome to Mr. Bedell's AP European History Page.
 
The study of European history since 1450 introduces students to cultural, economic, political, and social developments that played a fundamental role in shaping the world in which they live . Without this knowledge, we would lack the context for understanding the development of contemporary institutions, the role of continuity and change in present-day society and politics, and the evolution of current forms of artistic expression and intellectual discourse .
 
The goals of AP European History are to develop:
(a) an understanding of some of the principal themes in modern European history, 
(b) an ability to analyze historical evidence and historical interpretation, and 
(c) an ability to express historical understanding in writing
