    Franco-Prussian War


    • To describe the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War.

    • To understand the terms and the consequences of the Treaty of Frankfurt.



    Learning Objective: To understand how the Franco-Prussian War led to the First World War.

    1870: FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR

    Students are shown a picture of two blocks and asked to think what the blocks might represent (‘power blocks’).

    Work in pairs to discuss how they think the Franco-Prussian War could have led to the First World War. Then,  share their ideas with other groups around the class. Try to encourage debate and discussion about how a defeated country might feel and what they and other countries might do to protect themselves. Ask students to evaluate each other’s ideas and decide which they think are most likely/convincing. Use the Think-Pair-Share Activity Sheet to facilitate this task.



    Franco-Prussian War

    Students will be asked to read the information on the slide as a class. Check their understanding by asking the Learning Check  questions and give plenty of opportunity for students to ask questions.

Students can also refer to the Franco-Prussian War Editable Notes to help with this task.

    The Path To War

    Ask students to think about everything they have learned and add to their ideas about how the Franco-Prussian War could have  led to the First World War. Read through the information on the slide together, again allowing time for debate and questions.
