Cheers stricof; I saw this on my thread, although I'm sure you've got as good a knowledge as I do
Sorry for the delay in responses but it's the last week of lent term and as you can imagine having four essays (C. 2500 words) due in this week my time is rare
What have you done so far? It'll be easier if I can see or have plan as from there I'll best be able to help.
In the mean time here's a bit of advice.
In the title you've outlined three areas to investigate, the political sphere, the social sphere and part of the economic sphere (you've omitted industrialisated development). Go through each one dealing with collectivisation as a turning point. show how it can be considered the key turning point (this is where primary sources and historians views can be used), but then I personally would then give a historians view that collectivisation wasn't the key turning point. Then go on to examine other turning points within the theme. Conclude at the end of the theme-paragraph and in the conclusion draw together your findings (try to angle your evidence and argument so it's consistent i.e. show that it was in at least 2 of the 3 paragraphs or in none or just one; basically made a judgment before you start).
sorry if that's a bit confusing; I'm still in the process of editing / writing / formatting these essays,
- To what extent did Italy overcome the consequences of the Great War and the collapse of its institutions up to 1935?
- What motivated the European immigration to the United States in the period 1865 - 1914?
- To what extent was the Liberal Party’s ambitious programme of social reform between 1906 and 1914 simply a cynical ploy to win votes?
- Vietnam veterans’ psychological problems arose as much from their postwar as from their wartime experiences. Discuss.
none of which are on Russia unfortunately
