Conflict and Tension Complete Bundle

These lessons have been written to deliver the unit for AQA GCSE 9-1 Conflict and Tension, 1918-39.

By the end of this unit, students will be able to understand the complex and diverse interests of different individuals and nation states in trying to preserve the peace and the setting up a League of Nations.

They will focus on the national self determination of states, the ideas of internationalism and the challenges of revising the Versailles Peace Settlement.

Students will also evaluate the causes of the Second World War, how it occurred and why it proved difficult to resolve the issues which led to its initiation.

They will also study the role of key individuals and groups in shaping change and how international relations were influenced and affected by them.

All the lessons come complete with suggested teaching strategies and differentiated learning tasks.

I have added many of the typical GCSE questions AQA have supplied, from source analysis, write an account, to the longer 16+4 mark questions. Markschemes and tips on how to answer the questions to achieve the higher level marks have also been included.
