You know both US economy & civil rights came up last year
Just seems very narrow focus there
Hope you have few other options learnt just in case

What would you recommend I learn so? Just because it came up before in the previous year does not mean it can't come up again, I learnt that the hard way via OL Irish Paper II.

Bryanbryan2

Stick to the foreign policy areas and you should have all basis covered
Cold War
Vietnam
Detente
Civil rights & mont. Bus .boycott very good too

Bryanbryan2

Domestic factors that affected foreign policy may also be smart choice
Containment / McCarthyism / Anti War Movement / Assassination JFK / Eisenhower ind.compkex / economi spending on def / etc should cover that area

Someone already asked this but nobody answered. If I learn Stalin with show trials and purges and a small bit on economy, how could I use rhat in a communism essay? The Q will throw me. Help

Lads I'm truly f***ed for history.

I didn't even pick history and ended up doing it and failed my mocks miserably! So nervous for tomorrow and I still haven't learnt anything..

I'll look into that, thanks! I just never really liked those topics. Would it be too risky with Viet, MBB and economy?

Bryanbryan2

Remember you already should have close to 20% done with your special research topic
The doc section you should be able to at least achieve 80%
Then very easy to pass the paper
Few good questions & a B grade very realistic

spottyapples

For Northern Ireland I've Apprentice Boys, Coleraine, welfare state, sunningdale and John Hume done, do you think I'm covered? I hate studying Northern Ireland,it's so extremely boring

gracew

Really short on time here! If I learned for D + hitler's foreign policies, characteristics of nazi state, hitler's economy, propaganda, totalitarian state of Germany and reasons he came into power will I be ok??

How on earth anyone could write a full essay on Nazi propaganda is beyond me. 700 words max

Are you serious?? It's so easy! You talk about the rallies, the youth , cinema and films, radio and goebbles!

Bryanbryan2

That narrow but should he ok:
Learn Vietnam in number of ways to cover all possible questions :
- Why lose war or Why get involved & consequences
For MBB make sure know how it influenced civil rights era / James Meredith / MLK / little Rock Arkansas / acts to improve race / Malcolm x /

So for my special/research topic I called mine ''the art of persuasion1: Nazi propaganda and Hitlers rise to power''
does this mean I basically shot myself in the foot and can't answer any question on hitler.
My project mainly focussed on the psychology of propaganda, but it did deal with his rise to power.
I should be fine if only briefly mention propaganda if a Q on hitler does come up?

liahiggins

Really aiming for just a pass grade tomorrow (higher level) but was wondering what people think I should study tonight or what do you think is coming up? Im doing 1) Politics and Society in N. Ireland. 2) Dictatorship and Democracy. 3) USA (don't even mention Stalin, was out sick for months when they covered him and not even sure who they guy is)

Bryanbryan2

What you did in your Reseach project is completely separate from any question - it's an desperate body if work
Although that project does seem a touch too general & broad - your teacher must been happy it did not conflict with Hitlers topics on the cousre to allow it

Bryanbryan2

It's a separate body of work sry
No relation to any course topics

Well in the mocks, a Q on Nazi propaganda came up, I did it, and my teacher said that if I had done that in the real exam, I would have been crucified.

Not being smart, but given it's tomorrow - Goebbels

Actually, just looking there, Wiki has a pretty good article on Nazi propaganda. I normally wouldn't recommend Wiki to students, but a quick skim might be good revision just in case it comes up, and give some idea as to how you could organise your points.

Would I be safe in learning Hitlers foreign policy and Stalin + Lenin for D+D tomorrow?

I'd say so there is always goinf to be a Stalin question of some sort.

Would it be possible for apprentice boys/coleraine university to not come up 2 years in a row ? I'm nearly 95% sure it won't happen, what does everyone think?

Honestly just to be safe I would do the economy and foreign policy and possibly Johnson/Truman but you'll be grand
