Negotiation - GCSE History Definition

Reviewed by: Zoe Wade

Last updated

Negotiation is the process where two or more people or groups try to reach an agreement or solve a problem through discussion. In GCSE History, negotiation often refers to important meetings between countries or leaders, where they talk to settle conflicts or make decisions about how to work together. It involves listening to each other's viewpoints, finding common ground, and sometimes making compromises to ensure everyone involved gets some of what they want. Understanding negotiation is key to learning how peace treaties, alliances, and other historical agreements were made.
