About The Second World War and the Holocaust
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit follows the war from its causes to its end. Many resources deal with the origins of the conflict. The mind map Hitlers Foreign Policy - 1933-1939 traces Germany's leaving of the League of Nations and the rebuilding of its army. Why had international peace collapsed by 1939? looks at the peace treaties, the failures of the League, appeasement and the Nazi Soviet Pact.
Other resources cover the war itself: Dunkirk, the fall of France, Operation Barbarossa, North Africa, D-Day, the war in the Pacific and the atomic bomb. The Holocaust has its own quizzes, flashcards, slides and mind maps, including the Polish ghettos and Anne Frank.
Where to start
If you are new to the topic, begin with the causes. Read the mind map The Road to War, then work through the flashcard decks on the Saar, rearmament, the Rhineland, the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia. These decks follow the steps towards 1939 in order.
Next, move to events. The History Dunkirk Revision flashcards ask when the evacuation happened, why it was needed and what Operation Dynamo was. The Evacuation Of Dunkirk quiz then tests what you remember.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map slowly and cover the branches you can explain.
- Take a quiz on the same topic, such as The Nazi - Soviet Pact.
- Note the questions you missed and go back to the map.
- Finish with flashcards for dates and key terms.
The home front is well covered too. Second World War Homefront and Britain during World War 2 cover gas masks, the blackout, air raid precautions and the Auxiliary Fire Service.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I start with?
Start with the mind map The Road to War if you want the causes, or the Evacuation Of Dunkirk quiz if you want a quick check on one event. Both are short and give you a clear idea of what to revise next.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the causes of the war, including appeasement and Hitler's foreign policy, the course of the fighting, and the Outbreak Of WWII In The Asia Pacific. They also cover the British home front, propaganda and the Holocaust, with maps on Anne Frank and the Polish ghettos.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do the resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE History, AQA GCSE History, A-level History, IB, IB History and AP US History. Most of the material is at secondary level, so it suits school students on those courses and teachers who need classroom-ready material.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, including students and teachers, not by GoConqr itself. That is why you will find several versions on the same topic, such as the causes of the war. Compare a few and use the one that suits you.
What if my topic is not listed?
Look for a nearby topic first. The unit includes aircraft flashcards, notes on women and the war, and the infamy speech. If you still cannot find what you need, you can make your own quiz, mind map or flashcards.
