So did I 👍
I wrote about NATO, the arms race & the development of the H Bomb
Guys, I wrote about the Disagreement of the treatment of Germany. I know that was Potsdam but the conflict carried on afterward worsening relations. Would I still get full marks? Really worried about that :frown:

Whether you'll get full marks remains to be seen, but I would of thought you would have got some marks for talking about that.

Edexcel policy is that they won't deduct marks, however, you won't get any marks for the section on the Truman Doctrine. You might qualify for some marks dependant on the rest of your answer.

For the 16 marker, I did the Hungarian Revolution, since I would talk about the Warsaw Pact coming as a result of NATO, which came as a result of the Berlin Blockade, where the Hungarian Revolution was also about trying to leave the Warsaw Pact.
