Welcome to AP European History!! I am extremely excited to be partaking on this adventure with you through the history of Europe beginning in the Middle Ages and ending yesterday!  We will be discussing wars, art, literature, important people, laws, and much much more through the next few weeks.   This course will be intense, but it will be something you will leave with a greater appreciation of what occurred "across the pond"!  Thank you for taking this journey with me, and I promise to do my absolute best to make it worthwhile to each and every one of you!  But first, here is a little sneak peek of exactly what we are dealing with.  My hope is at the end of the semester, you will know exactly why all these colors keep changing! :)
