play than a year of conversation.

Wie entwickelte sich die erste Demokratie der Welt? Was verbindet und unterscheidet die Re-volutionen in England, Frankreich und Ameri-ka? Welche Faktoren führten zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs? Welche Auswirkungen hatte die Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929? Inwiefern war der Fall der Mauer eine friedliche Revolu-tion? Und wie waren doch gleich die engli-schen Schlüsselbegriffe hierzu?
