About the cold war slides
GoConqr OriginalUsing the cold war slides
Start with An Overview of the Cold War if you want a broad starting point. Its slides can help you organise the topics you want to revisit. For a closer look at a particular policy, try Eisenhower Foreign Policy or The Truman Doctrine.
Other sets focus on places and events. Soviet expansion into Eastern Europe looks at expansion, while Vietnam War covers US involvement in Vietnam. You can also find slides on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Soviet War in Afghanistan.
Revise with a slide set
Read one set a section at a time, then pause and say what you remember before moving on. Make a short list of points to revisit. When you want to check your recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page, then return to the relevant slides. Pick a topic and work through its slides at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which slide set should I start with?
An Overview of the Cold War is a useful starting point if you want to organise your revision before choosing a narrower topic. If you already know what you want to practise, try a focused set such as Eisenhower Foreign Policy or Vietnam War instead.
Are the slides free to use?

Who are these slides for?
Most of the slides are for secondary-level study. They can help school students revisit topics and give teachers ready-made material to explore. The listed resources mention exams including GCSE History and A-level History; check an individual set to see whether it fits the topic you are studying or teaching.
