Slide3Today’s purpose
We are going to compare what you learned from the stories of your figures from the Cold War.This will give you more evidence about each foundation and enable you to judge which you think may have been the most important.
Read
back through your story and ranking from last lesson to remind you of your thinking.
Slide4Mixed groups
Slide5Comparing answers
In your mixed groups:Take each foundation in turn, starting with the first:
The arms race
Economic factors
Desire for supremacyMutual fearIdeologyHow did it help to cause the Cold War? Do you all agree? Write a shared summary sentence.
Slide6Model example: arms race
The arms race was quite important in the Cold War because it increased tension.
The Soviet development of the atom bomb in 1949 convinced many in America that the USSR wanted to achieve world domination. This helped to cause McCarthyism and the Americans to become more extreme and less likely to negotiate.
The arms race helped to increase tensions in the Cold War, but wasn’t as important as the desire for supremacy and ideology, which were the reasons why tension developed between the USSR and USA in the first place.

Slide8Independent work
Work through the final three in your group.When you have finished, decide on your new ranking.
Creating?
Sustaining?
Slide9Plenary
Our last few lessons have been about setting the scene for the Cold War. You will re-visit the foundations each time you consider a new crisis in the Cold War to see which were most important in causing the crisis and which may have been affected by it.
