Superpower relations and the Cold War, 1941-91 The aim of this lesson is to understand how the Soviet Union reacted to any deviation from Soviet policy and control in 1968-9. Students will learn how and why Dubcek introduced a series of reforms to give his people greater freedoms. Having analysed the reforms, students have to decide if they were social, political or economic and which problems were the greatest threat to the stability of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Students will also study Dubcek’s road map to peace and are asked some challenging questions using the information provided. The Soviet reaction is evaluated in a series of options for the students to choose and some differentiated source analysis. Finally, the impact of the Brezhnev doctrine is assessed for Czechoslovakia, relations between the satellite states, relations between the USA and the Soviet Union as well as the reputation of the USA internationally with their response to the crisis. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout this and subsequent lessons to show the progress of learning. The lessons in this bundle are therefore linked together to build up a picture of how diplomacy, propaganda and spying led two Superpowers with opposing political ideologies to create tensions, rivalries and distrust as well as subsequently forming mutual understanding and cooperation over the time period in question. The resource includes retrieval practice, suggested teaching strategies, differentiated material and GCSE question practice. It comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
