A country is defined by many characteristics. One of these is economic policy. This year, you’ll discover how capitalism in the United States and communism in the Soviet Union saw very different developments and difficulties arise in those countries. Another defining characteristic is nationalism, which can take many forms. Just one of several examples you’ll explore is that of our own country, where a controversial type of nationalism gave rise to the founding of the Republic of South Africa in 1961. Everything that has developed since – including the imprisonment, liberation and presidency of Nelson Mandela – is a result of that moment. This is why History is such a useful subject to study. It gives you a brand-new appreciation of the world as you know it today: politically, socially and economically. Understanding the past is the best way to understand both the present and the future. This book will show you just why that is..
