These lessons have been written to deliver the AQA GCSE (9–1) Conflict and Tension, 1918–1939 unit in a clear and accessible way for students. By the end of the unit, students will have a secure understanding of the competing interests of different nations and individuals in the aftermath of the First World War, including the challenges of maintaining peace and the creation of the League of Nations. They will explore key ideas such as national self-determination, international cooperation, and the difficulties surrounding the Versailles Peace Settlement. Students also build an understanding of how tensions developed in the interwar period, leading to the outbreak of the Second World War.
