Britain’s Place in the World After 1945 World War Two had a significant impact on the world and Britain in particular. Following the end of WWII in 1945, Britain was saddled with massive debts, a need to rebuild the country, and significant demand for labour to make up for casualties of the war. With these factors as well as colonies in Africa and India demanding their independence, the British empire began to collapse. This brought about significant changes to Britain’s social structure, patterns of migration, influence on the world stage, and participation in international organisations. Learn more about Britain’s place in the world after 1945, which includes the nature of postwar Britain, how the Second World War affected Britain’s colonial rule, the establishment of the Commonwealth of Nations, and Britain’s membership of international organizations with this class. You’ll find Student Activities, Lesson Presentation, and Revision Notes ready to download upon joining the class. KS3 resources are ideally suited for Years 7, 8 and 9, or ages 11-14.

Over the past 30 years I have taught I.G.C.S.E, A-Level, I.B., and A.P. History throughout the Atlantic region in both private and public school settings. During that time I have instructed students in a variety of rigorous exam subjects . I am a strong advocate of "immersion education" (historic setting RPG) in the Social Studies classroom. My passion is Military History, which I have been enthusiastically studying my entire life. My present RPG classes involve a number of embedded lessons learned (empathy, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, etc.) through the Three Pillars of Adventure: Exploration, Role-playing, and Fantasy Combat. My Battles & Generals classes are akin to an "On-Going, interactive discussion-based documentary" as one student put it not too long ago....and that seems about right.Reviews
