Doubt suffragettes will come up its come up way too many times I think it's either miners strike or the general strike. Really hope that the poll tax doesn't come up I hardly know anything for it

Watch a documentary on the poll tax and you should feel more comfortable with it. You can also download revision materials off the internet to help and if it comes in time - the revision guide.

I hope it's either the miner's strike or the poll tax simply because I find those more interesting.
Thanks will do. Really hope that miners strike does comes up .

I really hope so
Does anyone know what topics have come up in previous papers from the last three years? Probably easier to predict that way!

apparently suffragettes has come up too many times and I think poll tax was last year or the year before so I think miners or general strike will come up

What why? Suffragettes is easy though it'd be a good thing if it comes up. Highly doubt it though.

Because they have overused Suffragettes too much now. Everyone is pretty much ruling out suffragettes and if it comes up a lot of people will be screwed and will suffer

Chances are Edexcel will overlap the protests. You know, they're evil, for-profit and corrupt.

This is why I hate learning history. You're memorising 4 different riots/protests and you don't have the time to truly appreciate what happened in each. At least American West and Crime and Punishment you can sit down and appreciate every date and event.

Exactly, these protests are in fact very interesting but they way we are forced to learn them just ruins the whole concept I just hope Miners strike comes up or maybe poll tax

I really like Poll Tax (Not the actual charge itself, but the riots and events). I hope that comes up and also Miner's strike.

Yeah, once I went over I understood more but 1 question why were protesters presented as "rent-a- Mobs" kinda confused on this part

Rent-A-Mobs are basically people who are like scruffy and constantly protesting in a negative way
