<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">It will give the students who study this course a much greater understanding of the dynamics between economic, political, military and social changes and competition between the major world powers over the period between the outbreak of World War I and the outbreak of World War II. Students will be able to have a greater grasp of what the conditions and factors affecting the key major states in world affairs during discreet time intervals during this time period.

I have helped facilitate this approach during the current sessions with the tutor in a number of lessons. Using both video and audio material from the time it really brings a lot of the things that we learn in the classroom to life, rather than abstract concepts. This has proven very popular with the students and helped in reinforcing the learning</span></span></span></span></span></li>
