Captain Cook’s exploration of the South Seas in 1768–71
The focus of ‘Aspects in breadth’ is on the process of change over a long period of time, rather than a concentration exclusively on one particular person or innovation. Students should, however, be able to explore key turning points and understand the reasons why key changes took place, why they were important and what their main effects were. These turning points include:
Captain Cook’s exploration of the South Seas in 1768–71 (this lesson focusses on the first of these)
The abolition of the slave trade 1807
The acquisition of Malta, Ceylon and Cape Town in 1815
The repeal of the Navigation Acts 1849
The purchase of the Suez Canal shares 1875
Disclaimer Note: The worksheet contains articles written by other people and the references for these are given and these would remain the property of their respective author/s. Likewise wording is used from the official Edexcel specification.
