Welcome

Welcome to AP European History! Our main focus this year will be on Europe from the Renaissance to the present. Europe has an amazing and diverse history and you will be surprised at the tremendous amount of influence it has had on the entire world. Some of the most renowned art & music, influential thinkers & politicians, and decadent castles & cathedrals are contrasted by some of the world's bloodiest & most brutal wars & weapons, not to mention ruthless despots. European history has a bit of something for everyone - I look forward to a fun and exciting year with you!

Video on the Irish Potato Famine

Here is the link to the video: Famine to Freedom: The Great Irish Journey
You should be sure to begin with the segment "The Potato Blight Strikes Ireland" (apx. 14 min into the video). Stop at "Coffin Ships: and skip over that, then watch the next two segments, "Eviction" and "Famine Leads to Revolution." You may stop there, but of course if you want to watch the whole thing, I highly encourage that. It is very interesting and if you have Irish heritage, you may find it particularly so.
