The Cold War is one of the most talked about topics in modern history and one which comes up across many different curriculums and syllabuses. In this class, students will be guided through the inception of the Cold War, with a summary of how and why the war began. This class is aimed at students in Years 10 -11 and is a great recap for the GCSE students but also a great opportunity to gain background information to get ahead.
