Lesson 1: Will will be trying to gain an overview of the main events which brought about the start of WW2 but considering how we can divide the events into long and short term and explain how they linked together to cause war.
See the video on the left for a brief overview and the PPT below for the tasks for the lesson.
Lesson 2: Hitler's aims in foreign policy
Now you will be considering each of the main causes of the war in more detail and explaining how, with each act, Hitler got closer to achieving his aims.
This is a wordle from a speech Chamberlain made in the 1930s. What do you think he is talking about and which year do you think he said this speech and why? ( http://appeasement.wikispaces.com/Appeasement)

Lesson 3: Appeasement
Why did Britain and France follow a policy of appeasement during the 1930s and was it justifiable at the time? We need to evaluate the causes of effects of appeasement to come to an answer. (Worksheet resource from Tes.co.uk)
Churchill and Chamberlain!
How did one replace the other and why? After many questions in class, I have attached an article to give more information on Churchill's rise to Prime Minister and Chamberlain's decline. Was it justifiable to blame Chamberlain for all the problems with the policy of appeasement?http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/events/churchill_becomes_prime_minister Lesson 4: The end of appeasement
This lesson we will be learning a little more about the events which brought an end to the British policy of Appeasement towards Hitler and ultimately the start of the Second World War.
