Complete the final stretch of AP World History: Modern with one comprehensive Units 7–9 Bundle covering the major political, economic, social, and global transformations of the twentieth century through the present.

This bundle includes three complete AP World History units designed to build content knowledge while strengthening the historical thinking, primary-source analysis, evidence-based writing, and AP Exam skills students need for success.

Three Complete AP World History Units

Unit 7: Global Conflict | c. 1900–1945

Students examine the causes and consequences of World War I, the interwar period, the Great Depression, authoritarianism, World War II, the Holocaust, genocide, international cooperation, and the changing global balance of power.

Unit 8: Cold War & Decolonization | c. 1900–Present

Students explore the ideological rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union, containment, proxy conflicts, nuclear competition, communist movements, decolonization, nationalism, self-determination, newly independent states, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the end of the Cold War.

Unit 9: Globalization | c. 1900–Present

Students investigate technological innovation, global economic integration, multinational corporations, global supply chains, migration, international institutions, human rights, cultural exchange, environmental movements, and responses to globalization.

What’s Included Across the Bundle

Each unit combines content instruction with meaningful historical analysis and AP-style practice. Across Units 7–9, students work with:

• Engaging historical background readings
• Academic vocabulary activities
• Primary source analyses
• Historical thinking and reasoning activities
• Causation, comparison, contextualization, and CCOT
• Timelines and historical evidence activities
• AP-style Short-Answer Questions (SAQs)
• AP-style Long Essay Questions (LEQs)
• AP Exam Connection and review activities
• Evidence-based historical writing
• Detailed answer keys and sample responses
• Additional unit-specific AP practice, including DBQ work

The Unit 9 materials, for example, move students from content development into sophisticated historical reasoning. Students analyze technological innovation and global interconnectedness, economic globalization, international organizations, migration, cultural change, human rights, and resistance to globalization. 

Students also practice essential AP historical thinking skills through questions involving causation, comparison, continuity and change over time, contextualization, and developments and processes. 

Built for AP Exam Success

This isn’t simply three packets of historical information.

The resources are structured to help students progress from learning historical content → analyzing sources and evidence → applying historical reasoning → constructing AP-style responses.

Students practice making defensible claims, selecting relevant evidence, explaining historical relationships, analyzing primary sources, and developing arguments through SAQs, LEQs, historical evidence activities, and AP Exam practice.

By Unit 9, students are applying what they’ve learned to AP-style questions examining technological development, economic integration, globalization, international institutions, and global change.

Use Units 7–9 as a cohesive instructional sequence or select individual readings and activities to supplement your existing AP World History curriculum.
