Causes:

• Split of Volunteers-beginning of opposition to HR, wanted an alternative
• IRB
• Pearse
• Unionists
• MacNeill
• Aud-would have had guns --->could have a rising.

Consequences:

• They lost-can describe what actually happened.
• Irish not content with HR anymore
• Rise of SF
• Success of SF in by elections
• HR party gone.

Just fill in the info and pow.

me_right_one

Bloody hell why dont you just ask him to write it out for you!:rolleyes:

If you have to write 3000 words, divide causes and conseq into 1000 words each. Divide that by 6 (or whatever) points each, so 165 words per point. Leave 500 for intro and 500 for summary. 165 words is nothing, its a paragraph.

Dont forget another point, the execution of the leaders angered people, and spurred on the support for SF, it also brought the brits some international disrepute.

Total words so far, 88

3000 words would take you 2 hours. That's like 10 A4 pages. Try get half a page + per point.

Thanks for the help.
I just have one Q and then I'll take a hike:rolleyes:
How detailed in the conclusion does it need to be about the event? Like, from start to finish ?? (sorry im a pain, I know :rolleyes:)

LC2010HIS

Hey
This came up in the MEB pre I got

"how did cumann ng est law and order in the irish free state 1922-32?"

Am I right with these points to make up the essay???

• Intro
• Constitution
• Garda Siochana, Acts etc
• Army Mutiny

Is that all? Or should there be more ?

(Doing Irish H ALLLLL DAY hence the desperate Q's:rolleyes:)

COLD WAR
Banking on that, EEC has been whispered and Comm economies

I don't really summarise in the conclusion. Throw a qoute of two in or something new!. e.g. Lady Fingal said of the executions: "It was like blood seeping under a closed door". -->irish people not content with HR, growth of SF etc.

efasummer

yea thats it cept you also need to write about the failure of the boundary commission

LC2010HIS

That's basically a question on how they established democracy.

• Intro
• Special Powers Act to deal with irregular anti-Treaty forces, talk about hard-line action against said forces, end of Civil War.
• Official formation of CnG in 1923, the establishment of the Garda Síochána, Public Safety Act, transfer of British Civil servants to the Free State, re-naming of British courts, Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1924 and how the system of local government was changed.
• Army Mutiny and how it was dealt with. Making Fianna Fáil come into the Dáil.
• Conclusion: CnG's greatest contribution to law and order/democracy was allowing the smooth transfer of power to Fianna Fáil in 1932. They left office having created a peaceful, stable state.

What do you mean by "Constitution"?

Don't forget the 1885-1886 elections. They were tipped to come up last year and didn't and were on the mocks this year again!
Oh and problems facing the GAA, too.

Then you've your 3 case studies dealt with.

For the essay title: "Why did Mussolini and the Fascists come to power in Italy in 1922 and how did they consolidate their power?"

• Talk about the factors which led to the rise of fascism, eg. post-war social and economic conditions which were poor - inflation, etc; dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles (they didn't get land they were promised in Treaty of London, 1915) -they saw their leaders as traitors for giving up the territorial claim on Dalmatia in the Treaty of Rappollo, 1920; fear spread of communism; and the perceive 'failure' of democracy, as the PR system gave Italy many unstable coalition governments.
  
• Formation of Mussolini's party in 1919, its failure in the elections of that year. Mention how as Italy's problems worsened, the fortunes of the Blackshirts improved. Support from the Catholic Church because Mussolini promised to end the Church/State dispute and their fear of communism, support from wealthy landowners and business people because of their fear of communism. Also many new members because Mussolini broke up a socialist strike.
  
• 'March on Rome' - explain what happened and how Mussolini was made PM.
  
• Period 1922 - 1924 in which Mussolini consolidated his power. MVSN, Acerbo Law, Aventine Secession.
  
• By 1926 he had a dictatorship. You can talk about the Corporate State (economy), propaganda, education, crime, Battle for Lira, Battle for Births, Battle for Grain. Then Church/State relations - Lateran Treaty, 1929.
  
• Conclusion: main factors which led to the rise in power of Fascists and helped them maintain their power were primarily propaganda and fear.
  
  That kind of thing.

I'm not sure the economy is relevant when it comes to restoring law and order.
