The Cold War timelines and cards that I shared last week have been very popular so I thought I would also share the timelines and cards that I made for the IGCSE History unit – Dictatorship and Conflict in the USSR 1924 – 1953. The timelines are slightly different to the Cold War ones in that I made a few mini-timelines this time but the sorting cards are the same idea. (Also I want to state that these were made with the Edexcel IGCSE History Spec in mind)

These timelines and cards are what I made for my daughter – she likes have a compact set of summary dates.

The cards are created with the idea that they can be a self-testing activity. It is a case of – Can you match the correct event to the correct date? And if you are in doubt you can check the information on the timelines (in other words I have only included the events on the timeline on the cards). I have also included a few blank cards in the set so if there are dates and events that you feel should have been included you can always add them in yourself.

The timeline and cards are free for anyone who thinks they are useful. But I would like to ask that you do you DO NOT try and upload them onto your own site, if you want to share them with others please share a link to this post and they can come and download the documents here.

Dictatorship and Conflict in the USSR timeline

And here are the Dictatorship and Conflict in the USSR cards

I hope they will be useful to a few of you.

Edit – if you want detailed question cards for this section there are a set on the TES website here – IGCSE History Dictatorship and Conflict in the USSR Question and Answer cards
