This title focuses on the causes and nature of civil wars, and assesses the extent to which they can be considered revolutionary. It examines political, social and economic development between 1603 and 1714, and uses a thematic approach to define and explain the changes that took place.

The Access to History Context series covers core periods of European and American history. Each book covers a period of at least one hundred years, charting the key political, social, economic, religious and cultural themes and issues of that time.

All texts include activities with comprehensive advice on tackling essay questions.
