The rationale for this lesson is that students can struggle to learn the historical shockwaves generated by building the wall. By focusing less on content and more on developing skills analysing the dynamics of the consequences of the wall to be built, this lesson aims to look at how this impacted upon superpower relations. This material can be tailored towards an impact on the domestic impact, should the teacher wish to edit the material.

This lesson looks at the Berlin Crisis through a consequences lens. Please note this shop has another class on the causes of the Berlin Crisis, which looks at the crisis through a causation lens.

It is recommended you only buy only either the causation or consequences material.
