Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

HIS3G -- British State and People, 1865-1915 AQA A2 June 2016

Hey everyone,

Is anyone else actually doing this topic? There's hardly any threads about this topic on here, so I figured we could do with a thread for this exam season :smile:

So, (if anyone's actually studying HIS3G) how's everyone's revision going?

I am doing this exam and I am dreading it! I just can't seem to predict what is going to come up.

Ireland's definitely coming up I think since it didn't last year, and I hope the question's on Land or violence in Ireland.

Personally as well, I'm hoping for a question on post-splendid isolation stuff.

Praying for Splendid isolation, Disrael's second ministry or parliamentary democracy.

The economy can bugger off.

Dream topics for Friday, for me, would be:
• Eastern Crisis
• Land and Ireland
• New Liberalism

I'm not bad with the later course content surrounding WW1, and I've practiced questions about the Eastern Crisis over the year, so fingers crossed :smile:

Nightmare would be the Depression- nobody can write 2 1/2 - 3 sides about that without padding it out...

Predictions we got told were:
Ireland (defo coming up as there wasn't anything last year!)
Splendid isolation
Ww1
Liberals 1865-1915

Will be avoiding any questions about the economy- most pointless part of the course

Do you think Ireland will be set across the whole period, or say from 1868-86?

I'd prefer it to be a breadth question, but if it has to be a focus question then I wouldn't mind 1868-86 or maybe 86 onwards.

A question about WWI would be lovely if it's about the events leading up to it, e.g the Balkan Wars and Morocco/Agadir.

Question on Ireland is pretty much nailed on, other 2 could be any but just praying Economy doesn't come up

Hey,

First question, I argued that Gladstone wasn't particularly successful in the short-term in pacifying Ireland, but he did set a precedent for governments to get involved with the Irish.

Second question, I argued that even though the reforms might've been motivated by national efficiency and self-help, they laid down the basis of the welfare state and ensured the ideas of laissez faire government were done away with.

I did question 3 too but most people from my school avoided it. I also did question 1, that was defo my stronger answer.
I think the questions were fair but the time frames were awkward.

Yeah, I think it's a general consensus that the Economy is not a good topic. My only issue with time frames was I didn't really know anything for 1896-1901 for the economy other than the Boer War.
