Ah haha! I'm sure you'll get them done ASAP! Funnily enough I've neglected history loads recently due to physics and maths 😒

What's unit 1?

Unit 1 is Kaiserreich 1900-1914, although the MyRevisionNotes guide includes the German Revolution at the end of this unit as a link between the second reich and Weimar

OMG I can't force myself to revise. Today I just copied out an old essay plan and called it a day. It's really unhealthy and I'm not sure why my brain is acting this way

Oh no

what you could do is maybe take a break :smile:

Just wondering for a question on how much German Revolution changed Germany would it be right to lay it out something like this, I'm finding it hard to have enough to talk about for a 30 mark essay.

IT DID BRING CHANGE : - Destroyed Imperial Germany/authoritarian monarchy created parliamentary democracy
- Brought in idea of universal suffrage and proportional representation (More Democratic, parties are fairly represented)
- Elections showing shift in support to democratic/center parties, showing right/conservative elite have lost trust + support of general public
- Brought end to war, forced signing of armistice to prevent serious political revolution/civil war.
- Social change including introduction of Bill of Rights

IT DIDN'T BRING CHANGE : - No attempts to reform traditional institutions of Imperial Germany e.g. civil service, judiciary system + army Would go on to undermine democracy
- Junkers still remain powerful through army. - Germany still remained politically unstable, left felt Ebert had betrayed them by creating parliamentary democracy + co-operating w/ traditional forces of Germany + right felt Reichstag too powerful, led too Spartacist Uprising, Munich putsch etc.
- Still relied on conservative elite + right e.g. Ebert-Groener Agreement Made Gov weak

Yeah I agree. Making more stupid mistakes on C3/C4 the nearer they get -,-

M2 isn't too bad for the first 5ish questions then it just gets so bloody time consuming haha! Luckily that isn't until the 22nd, but the week of the history exam I have physics and maths to worry about 😷

Unfortunately this thread is purely for the D1 option. You're not the first to ask though. If you can't find a thread I'd suggest you set up a new one until someone else doing the exam replies :smile:

Yep I'm in the same situation with econ and maths haha 😕 yeah m2 is hit and miss. Thing that puts me off history revision is the fact that if its consolidation of power, the exam will be so straightforward
