    ok, for
    sec A: constructive unionism or home rule after Parnell
    sec B: blueshirts, Lemass or Cumann na nGeadheal
    section C, weve been told bismark or imperialism
    sec D: DeGaulle or most likely Hitlers rise to, and consolidation of, power.

    This is what my history teacher hasd told us, but I'm of weak faith, can anyone second these predictions? I'm a little worried about section A

    Sect B:
    The Civil War

    Fianna Faíl 1932-38
    Ireland in WW2 (A nice little question if it comes up, 6 years where nothing really happened, possible 2-3 pager)
    Lemass (Which'll be my primary topic in this sect)

    Sect C:

    We were also told to do Bismarck, Treaty of Versaills, CnaG OR Fianna Fail and ofcourse ohe of the dictators for section d.

    So hopefully your teacher isnt wrong, otherwise mine is too.

    Hey Kold, you seem to now the whole paper inside and out. Do you know something we dont?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    None of you know anything you don't :)

    The predictions(guesses) are simply based on patterns in the past papers which anyone can make.

    Kold simply stated enough info that would cover any paper :)

    pm me if ye want em'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭Cannibal Ox


    We were told there's only one year left on the course so it's unlikely they'll change the pattern.
    Which is basically what's been said here, told for 90% sure at least one Dictator (Stalin, Hitler, Muss), Unionism, Parnell/Land League, CnaG and Bismark.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 163 ✭✭smelly girl


    dont follow predictions, people tend to just pull questions outta their arses and hope for the best.

    however if you have actually spotted the actual exam paper, smelly girl loves you.

    Smelly girl obviously doesnt pay much attention to her exam papers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 ChemistryXpert


    I understand the pulling a question out of your ass thingy but what do you normally get when you pull something out of your arse???? =****..And thats what the answer would be..

    Anyway history has a quite reliable pattern to pick off and the worst thing that could happen is a joint Q like Stalin and Hitler ,,,,etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,487 ✭✭✭banquo


    A: Unionist opposition to Home Rule 1870-1920. This question comes up EVERY YEAR and yet no-one does it.

    b: Lemass; Northern Ireland

    c: Eastern question; bismarck

    d: hitler rise + total

    e: whatever.

    2003 was straightforward "Ulster unionism 1885-1920", 2002 was "developments up to 1920 which led to the establishment of N.Ireland", same thing, 2001 was "unionist opposition to self-government 1886-1920", 2000, "Irish unionism 1886-1914", 1999, "Carson and Craig", 1998, "Irish unionism 1886-1920", etc. It's come up in some shape or form every year from 1997 onwards, and also appeared in 1995, 1993, 1990 and 1987.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    It comes up every year and everyone does it silly person :)

    The reason you shouldn't do it is because everybody does it and its harder to do well in it

    Are you sure everyone does it. My teacher said that no-one does it & so was ehncouraging us to do it.

    Ok I need a section A... I simply can't get my head around any type of unionism or home rule.

    Has anyone got a prediction that involves people dying and stuff?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭valor


    do gladstone. there is only one question they can ask and its 90% to come up this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    I've never studied him, will he take long? what's the question?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Do constructive Unionism, not only is it the easiest type of Unionism, its also an easy topic full stop, whihc is also exp[ected to come up this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Gladstone is simple, and ties in with parnell, which is good if you've studied him.

    1869 disestablishment of the church of ireland
    1870 land act. ulster custom legalised where already in place.
    1873 university bill
    1881 land act 2/3 purchase price to tennants, except lease holders.
    parnell jailed for speaking out against it, kilmainham treaty. End of parnell in land war, focused on home rule
    1885 general election, the HR party hold the balance, bring back gladstone
    1886 1st hr bill, very limited, defeated in the commons, by some dissident liberals. Gladstones party disunited
    1893 despite parnell being dead, gladstone puts another HR bill through the commons, it passes, but its defeated in the lords.
    Gladstone retires later that year

    Thats all of gladstone (i think) check all of those dates though, some of them are wrong. simple stuff;)

    Russia 1870-1917
    Treaty of Versailles
    The Eastern Question


    The Emergancy came up last year....as did the third french republic and irrish govts. from 1948-66. Which can discount both CnaG and Fianna Fail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭nesthead


    ok i have a section A, C, and D, but need two section B's.... any ideas??

    A: Gladstone, Construcive Unionism (+regular Unionsim)

    B: ________, _________, (!!!??!!?!?!??!)

    C: Bismarck (domestic and foreign), Imperialism

    D: All Hitler. (+Stalin back up)


    just fill in the blanks with two easy topics!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭claire h

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭nesthead

    Im praying to sweet jesus that lemass, bismarck, gladstone or parnell, the cold war or russia 1870-1917 comes up or im highly fecked altogether.
    I only want to pass though, but after my "impressive" 18% in the mocks im not feeling too good.
    (Although id like to point out that nothing i knew came up at all)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Well i was mearly pointing out thaty some of Kolds prediction are unlikely as they came up last year. So its probably best to ignore them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Corona


    Learning 10 essays for tuesday:
    Section A - Gladstone & Constructive Unionism
    Section B - Lemass & Cumann na nGaedheal
    Section C - Tsarist Russia(till 1917) & Bismarck
    Section D - Hitler, Stalin, Cold War
    Special Topic

    If at least 1 doesn't come up in each section, I'm screwed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong

    Sect.D-Hitler or Stlain (depending on the question title)
