    I'd say you have a good chance of being able to weasel an essay out of it from some question.

    Maybe do some background on other groups within the North and you're a bit safer - Orange Orders and the likes.

    Dictator and Democ - causes of WW2 = Hitler's foreign policy. Also covering myself for the Church State Relations and to a less extent, the Holocaust/persecution of Jews in general!

    PoS = CnG and FF economic policies, doing a 3/4 length essay on each - if one comes up, I'll do out that. If a blended question ie "successive Irish governments years x to y" I'll mix them up a bit and compare them throughout.

    You're convinced CnG/FF/both economic essays will be up for Irish? Based on what? Not being confrontational here, genuinely want to know where you've heard that

    based on the fact that it is a big topic in the book and nothing on the economy has come up in previous years.

    Sounds good enough to me. D:

    I've decided: going to do out then bullet-point-plan out 6 essays, 2 most likely from each section and 1 of the 2 in each has to come up out of 4.

    As for Doc going to leave it for last and avoid the Context like the plague.

    Probably a ridiculous question at this stage, but what ARE the case studies for Pursuit of Sovreignty, Dictatorship and Democracy, and Movements for Political and Social blah blah? :eek: I thought I was sorted just learning off the particular topics that my teacher predicted but he never actually pointed out which ones were case studies...:o

    They're written and highlighted in the text books and usually have Case Study at the top of the page.
