This is a new and updated series of 29 fact sheets spread over 29 power point slides. I have taken key information from a variety of text books such as Pearson and Hodder to produce these for teachers or parents who may wish to use them for revision, classroom learning or home learning. They cover all aspects of the Edexcel specification for GCSE History and are a suitable replacement for the text books.
