Save hours of planning with this comprehensive, ready-to-teach PowerPoint presentation on the Impact of the Cold War on Central and Eastern Europe, specifically designed for the IB DP History Higher Level Paper 3 curriculum.

This 20-slide resource provides a complete, exam-focused lesson on a key Inquiry Topic from the Europe regional study (Regional Study 12). It is meticulously aligned with the new IB History Guide (first teaching 2026, first assessment 2028) and is structured to develop the critical thinking and argument-evaluation skills essential for success in Paper 3.

What’s Included:
This single, editable PowerPoint (.pptx) presentation covers all the specified content for the “Impact of the Cold War on Central and Eastern Europe” inquiry topic:

Motives and Methods of Establishing Soviet Domination: Understand Stalin’s security, ideological, and imperial motivations—and the “salami tactics,” rigged elections, purges, and secret police used to impose control.

The Warsaw Pact (1955): Analyze its official purpose versus its real function as a tool for internal repression—including the invasions of Hungary (1956) and Czechoslovakia (1968) and the Brezhnev Doctrine.

Impact of Soviet Economic Policies (COMECON): Evaluate the structure and consequences of COMECON—from forced industrialisation and chronic consumer shortages to the economic stagnation and debt crises of the 1970s–80s, contrasted with the EEC’s success.

Social Impact of Soviet Control: Examine life under surveillance—secret police, show trials, travel restrictions, state atheism, propaganda, and the “niche society”—alongside the contradictory experiences of women and workers.

Opposition to Soviet Control, including Josip Broz Tito and Yugoslavia: Assess Tito’s unique defiance of Stalin (1948), Yugoslavia’s independent path of “self-management socialism,” and why Tito’s success was the exception—compared to the failed uprisings in Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), and Poland (1980–81).
