This year, the main events developing during the Cold War in Eastern Europe are the set topic for the Source Analysis paper (Paper 2).

Therefore, we are now working on these key events and different groups have been doing research on specific topics and on the testimony of witnesses living through those events.

Below, you will find the presentations made by Senior 3 students plus extra material on each of the topics.
