Quball15 · 07-06-2003 10:07pm

how do you know definately....would save lots of work.

treefingers · 07-06-2003 10:21pm

thats about right, except i wouldn't be so sure about lenin. try france:scandals and instabilities 1870-1914 for section C.

section

definately some aspect of fascism. maybe hitler foreign policy as well.

radiospan · 07-06-2003 10:21pm

im very confident. nothing is certain in this life however. have a back up of economy and foreign policy.

I fancy khruschev in D

Winters · 07-06-2003 10:26pm

Why do you say Blueshirts? Its so small i doubt it would be there..

/me goes to find Blueshirts essay.

Also, your going on Lenin in C cos the Tzar's where there last year? Though i ust study Parnell and French 3rd.

Kappar · 07-06-2003 10:28pm

This is what i am doing what do u think?

A: Constructive Ununism
B: Inter-Party
C: Bismarck (Scary 'cause now i think he'll be in E)

Britain '45 - '66
E: Special Topic

Squall · 07-06-2003 10:28pm

Blueshirts and lenin were both done at a history seminar i was at so was the french third republic(which you should do anyway as its very easy).I presume the people that were running it are all teachers and can give a good guess as to whats coming up.

Im gonna study those topics anyway but im not gonna limit myself to them.

Raggamuffin · 07-06-2003 10:34pm

A- Parnell (possible Isaac butt comparasion
B- First and Second inter party governments
C- Third French republic or imperialism
D- cold war up to krushkev and mussolini

DSMe · 07-06-2003 10:41pm

hmmm ....

A : Parnell , Gladstone
B : Fianna Fail , Inter Party
C : Bismark , 3rd French Rep (anyone else think the commune will come up this year?)
D : Cold War , European Unity , Hitler

I have full essays prepared in : Land Purchase , Gladstone , Parnell , Inter Party , 3rd French Rep , Bismark , Cold War and Hitler internal and Anglo -German relations (William II)

Im worried that i do not have enough done to get an A in this exam .. i might cover some facism tomorrow ... what else do u think i should have done? I REALLY NEED THIS A NOW I SCREWD UP ME MATHS!!

StickyMcGinty · 07-06-2003 11:11pm

A: Parnell , definatly. There was war when he didnt appear last year

B: Fianna Fáil and Blueshirts : i have a lotta notes on the Blueshirts but they rarely come up

C: 3rd French, Bismarck one of these are guaraunteed

Mussolini or Hitlers foreign policies. and Cold War is due a showin both very easy!

Hopfully it will be a straight forward paper, with the questions not limiting me to 5 or 6 pages, like "Bismarks domestic policies" or " Bismarks term from 1871 " which doesnt include Franco prussian war. Question on european unity is NOT about cold war, cause 33% of the people who did this question last year got no marks cause they wrote about the Cold war.

Any more thoughts?

DSMe · 07-06-2003 11:19pm

I want to know what u all think will come up in section E , as i do not have a research topic done ... btw if anyone has a good special topic i can use i would appreciate it v much (and will repay u for ur help

)

Kappar · 08-06-2003 11:01am

What do we think of Constuctive Unionism for a really well learned and Cultural Nationalism as a backup for part A?

Squall · 08-06-2003 6:20pm

Found an excellent link with a fair few Irish and European sample essays and a rundown of past questions on all the different topics

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Cyprus/1169/history/history.html

Its a bit old. Only goes as far as 1998. But hey the essays are still relative.

damnyanks · 08-06-2003 6:30pm

Try the Austro Hungry empire section if you got time. It used to come up quite often I was hoping it would come up last year it didnt. I was lucky though

Cant remember what else came up in section C but I was capable of giving a good answer

AH is quite short

AngelofFire · 08-06-2003 9:36pm

MY best possible outcome would be

A. Ulsters opposition to home rule
B. Devalera
C.Stalin before WWI
D.Mussolini

PHB · 08-06-2003 10:48pm

Not actually in the book but thats just a combination of early germany, early italy and the eastern question, not bad at all

Funkstard · 09-06-2003 6:00pm

I'm thinking of doing history for the leavin cert, would you recommend it w/ regards to the workload and stuff. BTW, i like history alot, i just find it interesting

AngelofFire · 09-06-2003 6:42pm

Id say if you find it interesting its worth the effort. but otherwise i wouldnt recommend it.

ferdi · 09-06-2003 6:47pm

i'm totally bricking it for history, i need a C3...i'll get that...right?:eek:

damnyanks · 09-06-2003 7:58pm

There is a new history course coming in. Supposidly less questions or whatever and if that is the case then it seems like a better choice

History was the only exam I saw everyone stay for the whole test (3hours ?) regardless of there ability!

If you do a decent special topic and a bit of reading (Which can be interesting alot of the time

) then it is also a subject you can expect a half decent mark from.

ella minnow pea · 09-06-2003 11:21pm

how long is it per ques?? 40 mins??
jebus im so screwed 2moro....... also probably dead in history

PHB · 10-06-2003 8:03am

40 minutes a question.
3 minutes to plan,
37 minutes to write.
8 paragraphs
4 paragraphs a minute

Believe you can do it and you can do it

ella minnow pea · 10-06-2003 9:19am

FOUR PARAGRAPHS A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i assume thats wrong or else i really am dead....

Tazzle · 10-06-2003 10:27am

he meant 4 minutes a paragraph not 4 paragraphs a minute

ella minnow pea · 10-06-2003 10:38am
