What impact did the First World War have on Europe?

These resources have been carefully designed to help students understand the impact of the First World War on both the Allies and Germany as a prelude to studying the aims of the peacemakers and the Treaty of Versailles, 1919. The PowerPoint is designed to work with both worksheets which can be mixed and matched depending upon the ability of your students. The first worksheet is designed for lower ability students, whilst the second was designed for middle and upper ability. Please note that these lessons can be purchased at a discounted rate via my bundle on the Treaty of Versailles.
