History

What to Expect from CAPS Grade 11 History

Grade 11 History explores the global themes of nationalism, civil rights, and the struggle against oppression — developing sophisticated historical analysis and essay-writing skills at near-matric level. EdSoft's adaptive module builds the analytical depth that Grade 12 demands.

The Cold War and the Developing World

Grade 11 extends Cold War study to its impact on the developing world — examining proxy conflicts, US and Soviet involvement in Africa and Asia, and the Non-Aligned Movement.

The South African Struggle

The South African struggle against apartheid is explored in depth — from the ANC and PAC's resistance strategies through the internal resistance of the 1980s, the township uprisings, and the role of international pressure in the transition to democracy.

Civil Rights in the USA

The American civil rights movement is studied as a parallel case — learners explore the history of racial segregation in the USA, the strategies of the civil rights movement, and the achievements and limitations of the Civil Rights Act.

The End of the Cold War

The collapse of the Soviet Union, German reunification, and the emergence of a new world order are explored as the conclusion of the Cold War era.
