The British school curriculum covers World War II as part of the study of history. The specific year group and level of detail included in the curriculum may vary depending on the educational system and curriculum structure. In England, for example, the National Curriculum for History includes World War II as part of the study of the modern world at Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14) and in greater depth in GCSE History at Key Stage 4 (ages 14-16). Key topics typically covered include the causes of the war, the major events, the impact on Britain, and the consequences and legacy of the war.
