The rise of the Dictators 1919-1939 - which dictator was the biggest threat to peace interwar?

A lesson that introduces the big dictatorships of the inter-war era: Stalin, Hitler, Franco and Mussolini. LA and HA version.

Starts with a fun game of ‘Pointless’ to introduce the 4. Includes a REALLY useful and interesting venn diagram task to show the differences/similarities between democracy, communism and fascism. This is an extremely useful task for helping students understand what exactly communism and fascism are, and how they operate.

Then introduces some of the key policies that each dictator is following, and asks (alongside the knowledge of the political spectrum) which they feel was the most dangerous threat to peace.

Also includes an option research project to look at one of the dictators. Adjust the sheet accordingly - it still has all my dates/rooms!

All resources included, no textbook needed.
