Well for CIE history on Friday you're guaranteed 4/6/10s on the LoN and the road to WW2 if that's any use?

its usually 2 pre war topics and 2 post war topics to choose from so as peace treaties is in Paper 2, the only other pre war topics left are League and road to war.

the peace treaties are neuilly, sevres, lausanne, trianon, st germain etc right? how much detail do you think we should revise as it is sources?

and versailles as well. I'd say pretty detailed timelines and notes are the best as it is a short topic and quite easy and seeing as the entire paper will be on one topic only, it is safe to revise more detailed for it than you do for paper 1.

Oh I see what you mean but actually last year, the source paper topic came up as a set too. It's unlikely but can happen

This is actually the pattern!?!?
If yes, then I wasted hours and hours over weeks preping for Cold War for nothing!

i think that the cold war could still come up! it is a post ww2 topic and isn't in peace treaties so you didn't waste time!

Im doing the time zone 2 for history. This means I'm doing Treaties for the Paper 2. So we can pretty much cross off treaties for Paper 1, as the same topics never appears on both papers (i think you also mentioned that previously).

So the only pre war are the League & road to WW2. So you reckon at least ONE of these 2 will appear, cause usually 2 prewar come up?

Don't you also think for post-war questions Gulf Matter 1970-2000 could come up. As far as I remember it wasn't on the Paper 1 for ages.
