History Elective Component 2204/3
Combined Humanities, a compulsory subject, comprises two components: a compulsory Social
Studies component and an elective component of Geography, History or Literature.
Synopsis of Subject
The Making of the Contemporary World Order (1900s–1953)
To be effective citizens and participants in the 21st century, students need to understand how the
resent world system came into being, and the inter-connectedness of nation-states and peoples.
The revised N(A)-Level History Elective syllabus seeks to examine the key forces and
developments which have shaped international history in the 20th centuries. Through this revised
syllabus, history students will acquire not just conceptual tools such as balance of power,
hegemony, geopolitics and nationalism, but also the historical thinking skills.
Unit 1 starts with the narrative of Europe in crisis. It examines how, in the first half of the 20th
century, European rivalries erupted into two world wars and the rise of authoritarianism that
challenged the governments in Europe and led to the collapse of European hegemony.
Unit 2 analyses the shift in the global balance of power from Europe to the USA and USSR at the
end of WWII. This re-alignment led to the emergence of a bi-polar world dominated by
ideological, geopolitical and economic competition between the two superpowers.

Ans
Overall mark for each subject is calculated based on the following formula:
Overall mark = CA1 (15 %) + SA1 (25 %) + CA2 (15%) + SA2 (45%)
Q2
If I am unsuccessful in first choice subject combination, how does it affect my chances of
getting the second choice?
Ans
It does NOT affect your chances of getting into your second choice. Streaming is based
on merit; the best students get streamed into their choice of subject combination first.
Q3
I am rather weak in my Home Economics (or Art, etc). Will it affect my chances in
