As someone who studied Balkan history and Balkan conflicts, I’ve designed few presentations on that topic, as I found out that many teachers have struggles to cover this topic because of its complexity. That’s why I tried to summarize all relevant events, in chronological order, selecting high resolution photos, charts and maps, in order to help you and your student understand background of the wars, its impact on civilians (war crimes, refugees, ethnic cleansing) and all other important details.
Every presentation contains additional resources:
Topic summary as a word document (8-12 pages) with detail explanation of all relevant events and key figures, that can help teachers/researches build up their knowledge about these historical events, saving them days of researching.
Editable Review Activity with questions you can use to review students knowledge after a unit, as a resource for discussion, homework assignment or simply a guide for students to organize information covered in the presentation.
Answer Key.
Blank Map for each country.
Here is a great way to decorate the classroom and help your students to learn more about the countries of Europe. Each of the 28 member states of the EU is included on a half page sized poster.

Looking for an engaging no-prep station activity? This is one of my favorites!
This resource contains five Real-Life Historical War Love Stories (from the 20th century and one story about the Ukrainian couple living and surviving in Kyiev today).
Analyzing the stories of how the couples met, students at the same time learn about historical events (wars or battles) that directly affected their relationship and changed their lives forever. Each life story comes with a special short information sheet about the historical battle or war in which the couples participated, so that students can better understand the historical context of the time in which the couples lived.
Students do not need to have any prior knowledge of these historical topics. The main idea is to encourage them, through reading interesting love stories, to think about how wars change the lives of people around the world.
Best of all, there is no prep work! All you have to do is print the stories, hang the information sheets around the class, split the students into groups, assign the two worksheets per group and have students rotate to each station and complete tasks. I promise they will love this activity.
Don’t like station work? Don’t worry - you can easily have students work individually, in pairs, as a class, or assign as homework!
A key is included!
