This is a series of lessons that cover the iGCSE Edexcel History paper 2 (A3) The USA, 1918-41.

The Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) History The USA, 1918-41 Student Book (ISBN 978-0435185459) has been used throughout the ppts. You, or your students, will need access to this book.

Previous exams from 2019 to 2023 have been used throughout the lessons. I have matched them up by topic and included the mark scheme after. The exclusion of 2024 exams means you will be able to use this for any mock exams.
