Full Description
The most comprehensive support available for success in Analysing VCE History. Creating a Nation: 1834-2008 examines the ways European settlers struggled to transform themselves into a nation, and the key questions they faced in doing so: How was a nation to be forged and who was to be included in that nation? These questions still play out today in a deep and often tense manner.
