I'm pretty confident about the NG coming up but I don't know them as well as the Liberals

What was your extended essay on?

Appeasement, did your teacher make you have a long fancy title that could have been said in two words?

Mine was, if I recall "Considering the social, economic and political factors why did Britain pursue a policy of appeasment with Germany during the 1930s" but more wordy

Oh no, we made our own up without interference. Like good little boys and girls.

I was considering "Was Hitler Reich or Wrong," but settled on:

“The worsening economic situation triggered the slide towards one form or another of authoritarian government.” How fair is this analysis of the factors leading to the Nazi rise to power in Germany from 1919 to 1933?

Ahh, the rise to power :biggrin:

I was considering doing that but opted for Appeasement as I thought I could write more :smile:

We were advised against doing it.

Ours are proper good.

Oh, why?

My teacher is an arrogant, condescending bum. But my god does he drum things into your head, he's a good teacher overall so I hope I have him for AH

AH??? I HATE you. I kid, but our school will not run it at all.

They thought that Appeasement was too difficult for us little troglodytes, so we had to stick to our prelim stuff. I only got a measly 31/40 for that, so i pale in your shadow.

How unfair! I'm really looking forward to the AH course, minus the massive dissertation of course :p:

At least you got your mark for it, we just got told it was off to the good old SQA

Doing Later Modern History(Britain 1850-1979 and USA - Large Scale State) and The Cold War topic. Hoping for a good democracy question for Britain but i've got the Suffragettes,Labour and Liberal governments in reserve just in case. I'm praying the New Deal comes up with America as it is my strongest area in the American topic.
