A clear, comprehensive and accessible revision mind map for KS4 students studying the ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR for CIE IGCSE (CHAPTER 4, Cambridge 0470, Paper 1) Edexcel IGCSE (Superpower Relations) or the British GCSE.
This resource contains a detailed summary of the early stages of the Cold War 1943-1949. This mind map clearly organises the key content into the following sections:
- Early cracks in the Grand Alliance
- Three Important Conferences
- An important change in leadership
- Stalin’s takeover of Eastern Europe
- The Iron Curtain Speech and Stalin’s response
- The Greek Civil War
- Containment: The Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan
- The Berlin Issue: Cold War hotspot, Blockade and Airlift
- Alliances consolidate: NATO and the Warsaw Pact
This mind map breaks down the key details and most salient points into a single visual, colour coded knowledge organiser. **Fantastic for less-able students who struggle with note making or overwhelm with content AND for those high flyers who struggle to condense or categorise key themes, causes, consequences. Print in A3 to enable students to annotate with specific knowledge and detail.
Each year my students comment on how useful they find them to revise from, particularly the day before and morning of the exam as a quick short term memory refresh!
