The Arms Race
This worksheet covers both the arms race on land (Russia and France v. Germany) and at sea (Britain v. Germany).

The Role of Kaiser Wilhelm II
Imagine you are interviewing Kaiser Wilhelm in 1914.
Come up with a series of questions you would like to ask him.
Now use the internet to produce a “beyond the grave” interview with the Kaiser.
Do this by researching answers to each of your questions, then getting “him” to answer them in the first person, present tense (ie “I think that…” rather than “The Kaiser thought that…”)

This forms part of the newly updated ActiveHistory scheme of work on the Origins of World War One.
