British Depth Study
=== === The British Depth Study encapsulates the social and political growth and decline of Britain in the years 1900-1918, '''featuring major historical landmarks such as the liberal seizure of power in 1906, followed by the subsequent reformations thereafter, the pursuit of enfranchisement for women, a detailed timeline of events and views of suffagists and suffragettes. '''Finally, we follow Britain during the wartime periods of 1914-1918 - however instead of following the trench warfare on the Western Front, we take a look at the national re-organisation and emergency governmental actions brought in, in the form of DORA, propaganda and conscription. In our series, we'll be overviewing these major parts in our video and podcast series, whilst our magazines provide additional reading alongside tips and tricks for revision.
