Edexcel History - Unit 3C Boom, Bust and Recovery

Original post by bsbnah

I'm really hoping for a question on Hoover to come up, what do you think the chances of that are?? :smile:

btw; this question for a section B "How far do you agree that america was hit by aN econmic downturn 1929-30" Is it referring to the stock market, banking, lack of regulation, unequal distribution of wealth, high tariffs, farming problems, industrial problems etc?

I'm not doing the GD so don't know how likely that will be. I would say that that is what the question is referring to.

How long do we spend on part A and part B would you say?

50 minutes on A and 1 hour and 10 minutes on B is what I tend to do :smile:

what do you think will come up for part A?

I reckon it will be a fact to do with the 1920's boom and the second question on McCarthyism, what are your thoughts ?

yeah i agree something on the prosperity in the 1920's, and potentially opposition to the new deal as it hasn't come up in a while, so thats a potential! have u revised much?

Reply 26

I'm praying for causes of the boom and opposition to the new deal, that would be perfect

I would love opposition and causes of the boom but i feel that would be too nice of a paper, edexcel are never that generous

Yeah that would be a nice paper! hate social and political tensions post depression, but that can up last year so praying nothing on that will appear

Opposition to the ND is my fave question so has to be that one

Causes of the boom is nice though

they normally ask one from the beginning of the period and one from the end and considering last years was social tensions and effects of ww2, we might be in luck

Plus after social tensions they do usually go for economic boom

I guess Prohibition is still a possibility but that and opposition would be far too nice

McCarthyism is another possibility

No denying theres a lot of content. Good thing is strong exam technique helps a lot so keeping organised and a clear argument.

I got an A last year so hoping to maintain that, yourself?

yeah same got an A last year, want to keep the A but teachers told me i didn't do as good as hoped in coursework! so need to get an A* in the exam so I'm really worried!!

I also think social tensions with immigration as the named factor as that hasn't come up since 2010. But then again I can't shake the idea it will be boom because as u said they normally do after social.

I think McCarthyism will be the second option yeah
