One of our History topics is Superpower relations (ie Cold War period from 1943 – 1972) so as part of our work we created our own little summary of the key events in a table format and in matching cards.

The Summary events in the table format consists of all key events and then we also did separate tables for key events of the Korean War and the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as a table which includes all the US Presidents and the Soviet leaders during this time.

These tables are really just key events and dates and it is just something that we like to do for every section for History that we cover.

We also did some matching cards – the idea is that my daughter can use these to test herself. Can she match the key events with the correct date? (and to check her answers she can just look at the summary table).

These are not fancy documents but they are something that we find useful as your History topics can get a bit overwhelming with all the details so it is nice to have all important events and dates in one place. For those you may also find these useful we are sharing the documents here.

Please feel free to download and print the documents out, you are welcome to share the link of this post but please do not upload these documents directly to your own posts and try to claim ownership of them.
