Edexcel GCSE History Paper 2 (1HI0 2A-2W) - 7th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

Also, did anyone here do the exploration question for Elizabeth. What did you talk about? Is the sense of adventure and desire to find new land a valid point?

For the narrative account, in my last paragraph I talked about the Truman doctrine AND Marshall aid and cominfrom and comecon however marshall aid occurred after 1947, how many marks will I lose??

Did anybody do British America? Feels like nobody did 😭😂 I felt really good about the Anglo-Saxon paper, although I wasn’t sure I found enough points for the 12-marker in order to get top marks. What did you guys do?

Honestly the wording of the narrative account 😭I was fully expecting Prague springs man

I mean you wont “lose” marks but you won’t get as many. Your points are probably less developed than they could have been ; it would have been better to do truman and marshall in one then cominform and comecon in the other.

Elizabeth paper was good. Did anyone else do the American West Paper? Because wtf was the narrative account question?
Also, what were people’s third point for the exploration one on Elizabeth- I just did adventure and desire for new land

I mean my points were very developd I write 3 pages, I’m just worried because it wasn’t within the dates that we were meant to talk about

For the narrative account, in my last paragraph I talked about the Truman doctrine AND Marshall aid and cominfrom and comecon however marshall aid occurred after 1947, how many marks will I lose??

Cuba
i talked about trade with ussr instead of usa (inc tension)

then nuclear missiles imported and JFK’s declaration that he’ll stop it by any means (inc tension)

then hotline (reduce tension)

then removal of missiles( reduce tension)

SDI
put us ahead in arms race (worse relations)

ussr realised they couldn’t keep up which lead to gorbachev’s new thinking and the end of the cold war
(Improved relations)

caused the breakdown of salt 2 and removed chance of nuclear disarmament (worse relations)

What did u guys write about the last 2 eight markers? The ones about the soviet relations with cuba and the SDI strategy (star wars strategy)
I found those a bit hard cuz i didnt know much to write about

I did cold war and anglo saxon, the anglo saxon paper was actually amazing

anglos saxon was good but could have been better- i didn't remember much about bishop odo so one of my features weren't as developed as the other one- also for the 12 marker for a paragreph i wrote about edwin and morcar's rebellion but after the exam i realised it was in 1068 not 1069 oh well i did very well in the rest so i think it will be ok

Lmao I didnt know the dates, so if the next page didnt say warsaw act was 55 I would’ve written about warsaw and nato in my narrative accounts

I ended up doing: potsdam and yalta/ truman doctrine and marshall plan/comecon and cominform

same and i also forgot 2 of the leaders' names in some events
i did yalta, potsdam and truman- marshal plan was 1948 i think and comecon was in 1949 so they werent in the timeline given
