Movement for political and social reform: Unionism and Parnell/Butt
D&D: Nazi State & Propaganda, Stalin/Lenin and Mussolini
Nation States: Wilhelm II, Serbia (never come up before) and Tsarist Russia

For nation states maybe why ww1 started? ie colony's, naval race etc? seeing as its the anniversary

aimeexgx

Any tips for Nation states and movement for political and social reform?
why did we do such terrible topics

iamthestig

I do Division and Realignment! im thinking Hungarian uprising and the oil crisis maybe, you?

Would it be possible to leave out US Civil Rights and the Space Race, and just do LBJ, Vietnam and US foreign policy 1945-89?

Also in Movements for social and political reform doesn't a question in some from come up on cultural nationalism and the Lockout almost every year? So would I be covered on these?

And for Dictatorship & Democracy our teacher says he'd almost guarantee Nazi Propaganda, Stalin/Lenin and Mussolini.

Anglo-Irish Treaty is pretty guaranteed isn't it?

Yeah I was thinking the same. Maybe a question on the whole Sovietisation thing. And perhaps Vactican II

Yeah I'm sure just Foreign Policy is grand for America
And you never know with the document! They could throw something funny out like the Congress because it's quite Irish orientated??

plmko

How many pages do ye aim to write on each long essay?

And is anyone else waaay more nervous for History than any other subject? It's so intimidating!

I'd say there's a high chance of the Congress since the last one was actually held in Dublin in 2012.

I was thinking this too, but my teacher thinks its too 'easy' for higher level but who knows what they will throw at us.

Hollister11

ib2014

mono2

Does anyone do Movements for political and social reform? If so any tips on what to look over? It's the one section I'm kind of freaking out over!!

PaleMoonlight

Anyone know if you'd get marked down in history for some spelling mistakes? I've been reading over old tests and noticed I've a few errors in my spelling due to being under pressure with getting finished in time. My teacher never marked me down for it or said anything about it, should it be okay? It's usually only a handful of mistakes.

As far as I know, no you don't get marked on spelling especially if it's only a few mistakes😊 I'd say just be careful to spell things like the names of policies and that correctly and you'll be okay

Thanks Yeah the incorrect spellings usually words like 'especially' etc, not names or policies so it should be okay I hope.

Hey I'm looking for a B1 but I've always been a crammer so I basically know nothing atm.. Do you think because it's D-day anniversary this year hitlers foreign policy might come up? Or any aspect of hitler.. I'm trying to eliminate one dictator from my study but I'm worried only one will come up and then I'll have no choice as I've never bothered with social/economic aspects of the course..

hard to take a gamble on that topic, its been 100 years since the first home rule bill so hoping that makes an influence anyway

It's irritating because it's a min of 7 essays when narrowed down 😠ah we don't do that topic, history's the one subject that's hard to predict really..

Nah man, facts!
They're what you get marks for, and of course you answering the question!
History is quite logical is you take a step back from all the information.

Yeah that's the way I look at it. I never wrote much essays until recently, I think I only did 4 outside exams before Christmas :pac:

I never really read over ones I've done though.

Unfortunately I've completely neglected Chemistry, Physics and Applied Maths due to doing History essays now, oh well. I'll just blame the teacher :eek:

Hi everyone
just wondering what the story is about Section 2 and 3. I see some years you're asked to answer to questions on Ireland and one on Europe and the wider world and other years its one on Ireland and two on Europe and the wider world. Can someone please explain this to me? Will we have to answer one or two from Section 2 or one or two from Section 3? really confused!!!

Whatever you've studied will be there, it's just one essay from each section you've studied..

There are some sample essays here -

It depends on what section the case study is from. The case study is Irish this year and next, so we only do one essay from Section 2

Last year it was a European topic (decolonisation), hence one had to do two Irish essays. We're the lucky ones
