Tomorrow we begin a new history unit, the decline of European Colonialism. This topic covers a wide geographic area and will take us through mid November.
The objectives for the unit are:
A. Breakup of the British Empire
• Creation of British Commonwealth, independence for colonial territories
• Troubled Ireland: Easter Rebellion, Irish Free State
• Indian nationalism and independence and Mahatma Gandhi's involvement
- Caste System
- Partition of India into Hindu and Muslim states
• Geography of India and South Asia
We will be watching the movie "Gandhi" as part of our study. It is am amazing film and I encourage families to watch it together at home. Seeing it twice and being able to discuss it with family will only aid comprehension and allow for deeper conversations based on your family beliefs.
