    I have to find a dictionary definition and a historians definition of the following words:
    Capitalist
    Capitalism
    Communist
    Communism
    Autocracy
    Oligarchy
    Totalitarian
    Feudal
    Democratic

    Im struggling to find historians definitions, so if anyone has a website they know for this it would be extremely helpful.

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    What does it make a difference how a historian defines it as opposed to any other person?

    Can you define what a historians definition might be? How it might be different to the normal definition or is it just what it is more likely for a historian to use or just merely using an example from history.



    Maybe then I can help you get the historians one if you are struggling.
