Okay, Alexander ii has come up like 5 years in a row yet it came up this year for russia... ocr are very unpredictable!! I was just giving suggestions as asked

Also in the same situation, except I did agriculture, industry and political developments (so very similar)

With the amount of people who interpreted the question as we did, I doubt it will severely affect our grade, it seems to be quite common and they might still give us credit because of how vague the question is

and if it does affect our grade, because there’s so many of us who interpreted it that way the exam will likely have lower grade boundaries? Maybe I’m being too optimistic

I did the exact same themes, I think we should be fine since if you look at chapter 3 it’s wars and revolutions and it’s impact on the development of the Russian empire which was what our question was about. That chapter is not specifically about nationalities although it is relevant, economy is equally relevant I think.

The wording on that question was really bad. I feel like reducing it to the development of the Russian empire was also weird because it’s obviously not a thing after ww1 when they become the Soviet Union. I went down the nationalities avenue for that question ( political, social, repression) but the way it’s phrased makes it so open ended but maybe that’ll be a good thing.
