What Lies Beneath: the online Cold War learning resource launched by Imperial War Museum as part of the Their Past Your Future project.
From the Imperial War Museum's Their Past Your Future project, comes What Lies Beneath, a brand new online exhibition resource about the Cold War.
The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9 1989 and the Iron Curtain marked the end of the Cold War, the 50 year ideological and political struggle between East and West which so nearly resulted in nuclear disaster.

What Lies Beneath contains overviews of key themes as well as personal stories from British people involved in the Cold War, new digitised material, including photographs, audio clips and video footage from the IWM collections, so that your class can get really to grips with this complex period of history.
