What would be your dream History paper?

Steve01

This is not a predictions thread. What one topic from each book do you want to come up in three weeks time. At the end of the day we'll only be answering one question on each section. I think we all have favourite topics - topics that we'd be very comfortable answering and can more-or-less rattle off at this stage moreso than anything else on the course. Here are my choices:

Sovereignty and partition: Policies of Northern Irish government
Nation States and International tensions: Developments in science, medicine and technology including the motor car
Dictatorship and democracy: Anglo-American popular culture

As for the document question, I don't care so long as its not the 1885/86 election

estebancambias

Dismantling the treaty or a question on society during the war

how nazis established a totalitarian regime

eastern question or church/state relations

Lockout

Corruptedmorals

GAA

Question on the Rising, Civil War or War of Independence

Role of Propaganda- Nazis, or Stalin's rise to power.

Civil Rights Movement.

Enemy Of Fate

Documents question - 1913 Lockout.Don't like the elections, and theres only so much you can write about the GAA.

Irish essay - 1916 rising/War of Independence-Civil War.Or an essay on all 3.That would be good as well.

Dictatorship and Democracy - Rise of fascist regimes (plural).But that came up last year so i'm not too hopeful.I also wouldn't mind the rise of communism in Russia (including the show trials).

Division and Realignment - Western economies 1945-1973 would be my favourite, although i'd also love a question on the soviet economies 1945-1990, or a question on the 1973 oil crisis (although again that came up last year).

For europe, something about the nazi policies (antisemitism, expansionism etc), for america the collapse of consensus, coz that's more about abstract social/economic concepts than dates and suchlike...for the irish pater to be honest I'd prefer a paper that just didn't happen, coz I haven't a CLUE

Spank

One that, when I open it, is blank besides huge bold letters saying 'Congrats, you get an A1, go home and sleep, you deserve it.'

Only chance I have of even passing at this stage.

Gaa

T2(E): Events that caused the outbreak of WW1

T3(I): CnG/FF policies(preferablly both, but not FF on its own)

T3(E): How did Lenin & Stalin create a totalitarian state 1917-1939

Haven't a Clue

GAA.

T1 (Europe 1) = Bismarck's realpolitik, events that caused ww1.

T2 (Europe 2) = Anything on the nazis.

T3 (Irish 2) = FF foreign policy, Norn Iron.

Lockout.

Irish: Sinn Fein development from 1906-1918 / Anglo-Irish Relations
Dictatorship and Democracy: Hitler or Mussolini
Division and Realignment: haven't started even looking at that yet, so something super-simple, like ... emm.... What was the Cold War, and why did it start? That'd be great

Enemy Of Fate

Hey I know this isn't on-topic, but its relevant (and could be quite useful) to everyone sitting the LC history exam, and since this seemed like the most active history topic I thought i'd post it here.As you probably know 2FM are doing somehting called ''606'', a leaving cert program that has experts on the subjects/exams on to talk about the leaving and answer some questions from students.Anyways I downloaded the history one today and listened to it and was quite surprised.On it was Sean Delap (he wrote at least 2 of the european history books) and he mentioned something very interesting about the essay section.

While we all know that the 100 marks are divided into 60 marks for historical content, and 40 for overall evaluation, what we (or at least I) didn't know is that even if we write about something OUTSIDE the dates we're told, we can still get up to 24 marks for it (as long as its actually relevant to the question of course).So thats a minimum of 2 full paragraphs you can write that don't have to be in the date limits (he mentioned an example of writing an essay about the treaty negotations, and then writing a paragraph on both the anglo-irish war, and the civil war).Anyways I thought i'd share it here, because I know many people don't bother to listen to those podcasts, and though some people could benefit from it.
