OCR History B (Modern World) GCSE - 12th June 2012

The examiner is not gonna be happy. LOL

Found it pretttty good, ta

Ohhh my god i did Geogs to be honest i found it so hard, no one in my class got above a C, and well were all pretty good at it... Dropped it at AS. trips were good though

How many pages did you guys use??????????

I completely got the Transparent Dodge one wrong- lost all 7 for that one I'm pretty sure. Getting pretty worried now...

Lmao ikr! Feel bad for the examier... but i hope he/she is nice and is like ''wow she knows her stuff'' aha

what do you guys think I would get if I explained the communist point but then mentioned the 'November Criminals' who were considered socialist (but in propaganda portrayed as Bolsheviks) and talked about the shock of the ToV so it was published because that was when opposition to the terms of the Treaty was at its most potent. I also talked about the fear of communism in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1918. I thought about doing Spartacist revolution but the source was too ambiguous.

Overall, I must say that the paper was actually good!!!
wrote 1.4 pages for the ten mark questions
Did question 1+3+4+5

Wrote 1.5 pages for the ten mark questions
Also, you know for the question did hitler start the war?? could I have focussed on the nazi-soviet pact, outlining how he had signed that and how he had to take over poland and how chamberlain could no longer appease him/??

There was no Russian Revolution in 1918.

did anyone do International relations (the first page) and then Russia (Stalin etc)

personally have never heard of 'Saar' which was the topic of one of the questions and neither have my classmates.

found the paper very hard - suggestions?

Why do you think you got it wrong?
At least we're in the same boat. It seems that a lot have messed up on the Bolshevik question but done well on the rest....it's the opposite for me D:

What did you put for the "does this source prove" question (if you did nazi Germany)?

I did about that question. I put about the checolslovakia crisis and then Poland. For other reasons I did policy of appeasement and league weakness. You could write about soviet pact though because it was part of the steps to war.

you had a 16 mark question??

This was one of the reasons behind it, yes. However, I'd imagine you'd have to talk about other reasons, such as Lebensraum, the Danzig corridor etc.

They were both 1917 weren't they? I did America and it was in my spec.

Ive just done the exam, you should have studied it. in 1919 due to treaty terms the saar coal field were handed to the allies (France) for 15 years in order to use the resources. In 1935 a plebiscite (type of election) took place to find out whether the workers of the field wanted to either remain under French control or return to German control. The election show that 9/10 people wished to return to German control and so this displayed his popularity during this time.

As to the wolf cartoon you should also have studied that. From the date people should have been aware that in 1919 Germany only one main event occured which was the Sparacist revolt. The revolt seen the death of two communist leaders Rosa Luxemborg (depicted in the picture) and Carl Liebneckt. They were killed when the SDP called upon the army, lead by General Groener, to capture them and kill them, there bodies were then thrown in a river which is sorta whats shown in the picture. I didnt know what the word meant but if you know the story the picture makes sense.
