PS3: The Move to Global War

Prescribed Subject 3: The Move to Global War

This topic examines how the actions of three countries in two different regions contributed to the 'move to global war' in the 1930s. Students will look at Japanese expansionism and then German and Italian expansionism.

The key themes of Move to Global War are: the causes of expansionism, the main events/actions of each country that contributed to a rise in tension and, finally, the international reactions to these events and actions.

As with the other Paper 1 topics, the themes for each case study are the same to allow teachers to draw comparisons between the case studies. However, exams will only ever be set on one of the case studies and will never be of a comparative nature.
