Cold War Revision Guide

Edexcel GCSE 9-1, Superpower relations and the Cold War, 1941-91

This 22 page Revision Guide is tailored to the above Edexcel specification for GCSE 9-1.

It is broken down into 4 main sections: Origins of the Cold War, Increasing tensions, Détente and the end of the Cold War.

I have been inspired to write this Revision Guide on account of the students I teach struggling with the course content of this unit and applying the skills in how to answer the GCSE questions.

This Revision Guide therefore includes 21 GCSE practice exam questions and gives examples on how to answer each, using model answers.

This guide will enable all learners to achieve the higher grades with clear guidance on how to achieve them.

The questions target consequence, significance and analytical narrative with a focus on analysing events and finding connections that explain the way in which the events unfolded.

The information is also broken down into an easy to use format to aid the students.

The guide can be used for revision, interleaving, home learning as well as class teaching. For home learning, each student taking GCSE History has a copy assigned to them on a google drive and it is used frequently when using google classroom assignments such as revision for assessments.

This Revision Guide has been designed to be engaging, detailed and easy to follow and can be edited and changed to suit in Microsoft Word and PDF format.
