The Global History II Regents core curriculum is designed to focus on the five Social Studies Standards and six Social Studies Practices while implementing Reading and Writing Standards for Literacy. This course provides a snapshot of the world circa 1750 and continues chronologically up to the present. Several concepts are woven throughout the course, including industrialization, nationalism, imperialism, conflict, technology and the interconnectedness of the world. Students should take the New York State Global History and Geography Regents in June.
