Exam Class History on You Tube

As we approach the end of the GCSE / AS / A2 courses and start to prepare for revision, a good place to start might be to utilise these You Tube clips.

Y11 - Nazi Germany
6 part UKTV History documentary on the Night of the Long Knives - a well structured account detailing the causes of this event as well as the executions themselves and the aftermath. Clips 5 and 6 deal with the execution of Roehm. This link is to clip 1 ...

This is a decent dramatisation of the build up and consequences of the Reichstag fire - from the film 'Hitler: Rise of Evil'

Y12 / 13 - China
A 5 part documentary on the Tiananmen Square massacre from the History Channel. A good overview of causes, events and consequences ... try not to pay too much attention to the rock music background! Link to part 1 here ...

I will try to post more links in the coming weeks that may be of use.
