Flashcards for Cambridge IGCSE History (0470), split into Core content (Option A, the 19th century, and Option B, the 20th century, each by key question) and Depth studies (one subdeck for each of the five, by key question), following the syllabus for exams in 2027 and 2028. Delete or suspend the option and depth studies your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
