About Interwar Britain
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources follow Britain from the end of the First World War to the approach of the Second. Political change runs through the maps and flashcards: the decline of Lloyd George, the Conservative government of 1922-23, the first Labour government and the 1929 election. Economic and social themes sit alongside them, including the post-war boom and crisis, the Depression, housing, leisure and the roles of women.
Where to start
Begin with an overview. The mind map Britain Between the Wars gives the wide picture, and Changing Party Fortunes 1918-31 shows how Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberals rose and fell. Then read Post war boom, crisis and recovery to see why the economy struggled after 1918.
Key events in detail
- The General Strike: several maps, a flashcard deck on the chronology and a quiz on the May 1926 strike. One map asks whether the strike threatened a revolution.
- The Jarrow March: a mind map on the October 1936 march, a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- The 1930s: maps on the National Government's economic policies, political extremism and the Abdication Crisis, plus a slide set asking whether the Hungry Thirties is a fair label.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map on a topic, such as the Second Labour Government.
- Take the matching quiz, such as The Impact of the Depression 1931-1939, without looking back.
- Return to the map for anything you missed.
- Use flashcards for dates, names and causes.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand The World Wars and the Interwar Era (1900-1945) within History. Pick one topic, try its quiz, and then build your own maps and flashcards to fill any gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Britain Between the Wars for the overall picture. Then move to Changing Party Fortunes 1918-31 for the politics and Post war boom, crisis and recovery for the economy. Once you have the outline, choose a quiz on a single topic to test what stuck.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 140 of them. They cover Lloyd George's decline, the Labour and Baldwin governments, the General Strike, the Jarrow March, the Depression, the National Government's policies, political extremism, appeasement and the Abdication Crisis. Some also look at housing policy and social challenges.
