28 eLearning modules · CPD Certified · SCORM
Warfare and British Society, c1250–present explores the impact of war on British society over time. It examines how warfare shaped political power, the role of the military, and everyday life from the medieval period to modern times. Key themes include the changing nature of warfare, recruitment and training of soldiers, the influence of key conflicts (like the Hundred Years' War, Civil Wars, World Wars), and the evolution of weapons and technology. The study also looks at the government's role, public opinion, and the experiences of civilians. War consistently shaped Britain’s institutions, identity, and societal structures across centuries.
