    Oh apologies. I've looked through the papers and I'm certain either the plantations or the revolutions will come up in the sources. I don't see how the reformation and th age of exploration fit into the pattern if it comes up this year, but the age of exploration does come up quite often.
    The revolution came up as a source in my pres, do you think it'll come up in the JC? Question 6 A is mostly from the first year course, only once did it come up from the second year course within 14 years.
    You must of had the same mock paper as me .. I had revolution as source too. High chance it'll come up at 6 a this year, but no one is 100% sure.

    I got 97% in my History mocks. I guess the examiner just got married, laid and got a new car beforehand or something, my answers weren't THAT good.

    My teacher told me it's hard to get top marks on social change because there isn't alot to talk about on it without waffling. I suggest doing A and D as they contain hard facts and are easy to obtain top marks if you know your stuff :p.

    Social change makes me want to cry with boredom. Might go for International relations or Political changes.

    So from what i've gathered for History prediction for JC(sources from the forum):

    Q6) Do A and D
    A: Reformation, Renaissance, Age of Explorations, Revolutions could come up (1st year stuff basically)
    D: International Relations (World Wars, Hitler, Cold War)

    Q5) Revolutions, Plantations, Renaissance, Reformation(unlikely since it came up last year)

    Q4 PEOPLE IN HISTORY) Christopher Colombus, Martin luther

    I'm going to scan over irish history but it's too lame so yeh. I would have social change as a backup just in case.

    The western countries that were France, Italy- Benito Mussolini and Britain- Neville Chamberlain were appeasing to Hitler because he wanted Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia because it was occupied by a majority of a population of Germans... also Britain, Italy and France thought that if they agree to his demands in return of a favor of not invading any other territory.

    Hmm, i think it was because:
    1). The major european countries believed that by allowing hitler to make 'reasonable gains' they were preventing war with germany.
    2) many people in britain believed that the treaty of versailles had benn too harsh on germany.:eek:

    Irish in school is failing, hardly anyone likes the language or the history, it's a real disgrace though :( As for your question on appeasement:

    Britain was willing to appease hitler because it's prime minister Franklin Chamberlin(i think) had a policy of appeasement which he believed would prevent another world war from happening, also the people of Britain felt that the treaty of versailles was extrememly unjust to the Germans considering they had to pay all the war reparations and sign a guilt thing.

    forgot the other reason so i would just waffle.

    Velocity IS speed in a given direction, at least according to me and my revision book.

    "Velocity tells us the speed that something is travelling at, but it also tells us the direction in which it is travelling"

    or

    "Velocity is speed in a given direction.

    You should have been marked correct.
