This is an activity to introduce Hitler’s foreign policy 1933-9.
Hitler’s aims can be introduced by watching the video of his speech. Students can discuss what they think Hitler is likely to do to achieve what he talks about in the speech.
Students make a graph of the actions that Hitler undertook. They plot them in chronological order (this can be done as a card sort), and decide which were political or military actions.
There are two sheets for the actions, one in chronological order for less able students, one jumbled up for students to arrange (and possibly stick down? - If so, do the graph sheet on A3 for space reasons.)
More able students can explain a turning point in the actions which made war inevitable at some point, and explain why other events led to war. They can also offer their thoughts on how Britain and France should have reacted to successfully avoid war.
