United States History II College Prep and Honors
Welcome to United States History II. We will spend the 2018 - 2019 school year studying 20th century American History. Our studies will begin with World War I and end with present-day. Our units include the review of World War I, The Roaring 1920's, the Great Depression, World War II, The Cold War, The Modern Civil Rights Era and Contemporary America.
