The Cold War Superpower Relations Topic 1

Edexcel GCSE:
I made these lessons to save time as I had to teach the entire Unit 2A in just 18-20 lessons.
I have managed to squish each key topic down into 6 lessons with exam questions generally being sat as homework.

These lessons worked surprisingly well despite only having 6 lessons!
It does require some printing however if you are organised you could have your repro dept print all the sheets into a booklet with alternative pages for notes.
Includes the whole of key topic 1: Origins of the Cold War.
Lesson 1: Peace Conferences WWII and the Grand Alliance
Lesson 2: Escalating tensions and breakdown of Grand Alliance
Lesson 3: Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, Cominform and Comecon
