WW2 - Hitler's Road to War

This lesson contains:

• A starter source activity to get the students to guess the message of the source (Hitler wanting to take more land).
• A YouTube video to show the story of Hitler’s steps to war. This is for information purposes and you don’t have to show the whole length if you don’t want to. It just helps visualise things and bring it more to reality for the students.
• An activity to study the information provided and complete a ‘road to war’ worksheet documenting all the steps from Rhineland, Anchluss, Czechoslovakia and Poland with the other events in between.
• A consolidation source task.
• The opportunity to discuss the biggest steps which caused the war, and a plenary to consider which countries were most to blame for WW2 starting. Was it Germany/Italy etc. or did the British inactivity contribute etc.
