The causes of World War One (M.A.I.N)

This lessons was written for KS3, but might work for GCSE.

Introduces the ‘trigger’ cause, with details on the Assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand through a video.
Then students will look at the M.A.I.N (militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism) causes of ww1, collect information and explain how they contributed to war.

There are information sheets provided, I’m not sure why, the images appear to have gone very dark on one of them. Apologies for that! The more difficult sheet also has a LA version.

Finishes with a source question based on a political cartoon.
