there's not been a source question on anything under Populism, progressivism and imperialism so that's a focus to me. essay wise im at a loss


populism interesting it was a 25 marker two years back i believe but maybe it being an extract question i wont be surprised imperialism im sure was an extract question once before was it not ?

Do you think there will be a economy question like a 25 marker

economy is a large scale topic in USA there is a high chance there will be one but also might not its very hard to predict papers like this :frown:

2021 there was an essay option on if populism had a significant influence on national politics 1890-1912

2018 was an essay option - to what extent was imperialism motivated by issues of national security 1890-20

i went through and noted the essay and source topics to see what they hadn't asked for each, and that was the only section that hasn't had any extracts on.

2022 there was also an essay on the New Freedom being a follow-on from T Roosevelt's policies, which I guess fits the period.

Thats true but it wasnt specific on his political actions in the domestic environment i have a suspicion new deals may be a question i highly doubt there will be an african american american question or a question on society 20-45 those are the ones im sure wont pop up cold war however is a high possibility.

yeah after going through what's already been asked i realised his new deals and the federal govt issues haven't been a question.

ok tell me if i'm wrong but i am thinking of revising
women 1890-1920
foreign policy 1945-75
politics/economic policies 1920-1945
economy 1865-90

ik i'm reading way too much into it as it's a hard paper to predict but they are my best guesses
also i will probably revise 1890-1920 foreign policy

yeah i realised this too- politics 1920-45 havent specifically been a question but there's been so much other stuff asked about that time period that relates to politics a lot, especially social stuff

this is like exactly what im revising but sorta less women for the progressive era and more grassroot progressivism as well as urbanisation, social tensions, AAs, immigration, etc. in general

one question why revise all economy on the 2022 paper there was an economy question 1945-68 and 2020 1890-1920 so i would avoid those especially the 45-68 one since it was on the last paper and focus more on boom bust recovery and gilded age economy but maybe im wrong.

yeah that's what I'm doing- I'm not revising economy 1890/20 or 1945/75
I'm revising reconstruction/gilded economy mainly, but I thought because they've asked so much about society 1920-45, which ties into politics, I think if that topic comes up, it will be to do with economic/political policies in the 1920s leading to the depression, maybe a bit about the wars
If I had to predict one question to come up tomorrow it would be something on Cold war.
Good luck everyone
