History - ESO 4 was published in September 2014. It covers the period of history that starts with theAncien Régime and ends with the world we live in today.
We explain the key political events, including the American and French Revolutions, the two World Wars and the Cold War. We also look at the great economic and social changes over this period, taking in the Industrial Revolution and the changing role of women. As well as international events, we look at Spain's history over the past three centuries.
