Causes of World War Two: Past Exam Questions and Research Task
This GCSE History handout outlines the main causes of World War Two: The Peace Treaties, the Weaknesses of the League, the Depression, Hitler’s Foreign Policy, Manchuria and Abyssinia, Appeasement, the Nazi-Soviet Pact. It also provides a list of past history examination questions. Students have to research different themes and produce a one-sided summary sheet for their classmates.

For IB / A-Level historians. Students take a detailed timeline of events and place each event into one of three columns: political damage, military damage, socio-economic damage. From this they decide when exactly the Tsar lost control of the politicians, the armed forced and the ordinary people. They then put each of these crises in a mid-term perspective (using the work done in the previous lesson) and then a long-term perspective (using notes from the computer simulation and earlier worksheets).
