US History v. World History

[kameronsmith]

<p>I'm a strong history student, but am having trouble figuring out which history class to take. The problem is that my school doesn't have any specific "US History" course. Instead, we take a relatively global approach, while also having US history.</p>

<p>Specifically, these are the courses I've taken:
Core History—mostly prehistory through ancient civilizations. Also, theory of history (analysis, etc.).
Making of the Modern World—world history through essentially the French revolution. Mostly focused on Western civilization & colonization of Americas.
US & the World—major world events from 1870s through 2010. Analyzes events with US-centric view.
AP Gov—essentially intro constitutional law</p>

<p>So, my school has essentially taught me world history with a bias towards the US. Thus, I know next to nothing about either US domestic history (ex. revolution, civil war) or eastern history.</p>

<p>What would you guys recommend taking?</p>

<p>I have only taken World History. I did so right after the AP exam during 10th grade and got an 800 easily. Quite honest, the AP exam was much more difficult. However, if you study well, I think you’ll pull off WH.</p>
