By studying this broad sweep of history, you will gain a deep understanding of the intricate relationship between military conflict and societal change.The course is structured chronologically, beginning with medieval warfare. You'll examine the role of the feudal system in raising armies, the tactics and equipment used at key battles like the Battle of Agincourt, and how conflicts such as the Hundred Years' War affected the economy and population. We will then transition to the early modern period, focusing on the creation of professional armies and navies, and the impact of the English Civil War on the relationship between the monarch and parliament.Next, we will explore the Industrial and Imperial eras. This section examines how technological advancements, from the invention of steam power to the development of repeating rifles, revolutionized warfare.

We will delve into the societal changes brought about by the two World Wars, including the introduction of conscription, the experience of civilians on the home front during the Blitz, and the changing role of women.
