How much coverage of United States history is there in the AP World History course?
Coverage of the United States is included in relation to its interaction with other societies — its colonization in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Revolutionary War, and its expansion — and limited to appropriate comparative questions and U.S. involvement in global processes. Topics that focus on the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, such as the end of World War II, the Cold War, and the globalization of trade and culture, can be assessed with appropriate references to the U.S.
