A few questions relating to History and Geography

TheCandystripes

In History I need to know a few things.

When writing about Stailin they would probably ask you to discuss Stalins Russia, his economic policy and how he used violence to repress people(?)

If you were writing these essays how would you organise them?

I have for the economic and stalins russia question
opening paragraph@ succeeded lenin, russia in a bad financial state, 100 years behind economic powerhouses, centred his regime around rapid industrialisation, achieved some great success but with an impact on the ordinary russian

2nd paragraph: five year plans(how would you organise this, would you spread the plans over how many paragraphs?) results of five year plans-few stats, moscow underground, europes largest hydroelectric plant, railway linking to central asia etc.
education

3rd paragraph: collectivisation: main aspect, distrusted peasents, make farms more productive to provide food for labour force and to increase exports, peasents forced to hand over land to local collective(forget what its called now dont have my book nearby) not a success, attributed towards famine which killed 10 million in 1932 and 1933

human cost
kulaks-seen them as a thread to communist, stalin talked of 'eliminating them as a class' 5 million either executed or deported from land

so yeah i know about the show trials, the gulag and stuff but how would you organise this essay(the econimic and general stalin essay)

Next, geography and in particular regions. When talking about development of primary activities in a region you have studied i talk about west of ireland.

then i talk about agriculture, fishing and forestry.

agriculture-long been an important part of west economy(over 64 per cent of farms found in west) however a number of factors inhibit the growth of it as an industry-
rugged landscape, peat and gley soils, climate-abundant rainfall
peripheral location away from domestic and international markets
many farmers over 50 and conservative in their methods
small farm size
livestock raising main type of farming done-sold onto bigger farms in the midlands and east
many farms rely on eu assistance in form of CAP

fishing-before 1960 fishing was drastically underdeveloped, since then however the industry has grown particulary aquaculture
advantages for fishing in region: natural inlets, rich fishing grounds of athlantic, shallow continential shelf provides plankton
main fishing ports located in west-killybegs is irelands largest fishing port
eu quotes-limited the expansion of sea fishing
aquaculture-accounts for 50 per cent of all fish caught by value
pollution free waters ideal

and then forestry too tired to write about it but yeah, is this the kind of thing you would write about?

merci

For geography, you need to have enough SRP - stated relevant points, as far as I remember its about 14-16 per long question. didn't do history so I can't advise you on that
