AQA AS HISTORY EXAM 14th May thread

Original post by Aaisha.Akhtar

I have a feeling the leadership contest, cult or intolerance to diversity will come up for Russia. I would not be happy if collectivisation or if industrialisation and FYPs came up!

For Germany, perhaps Hitler's rise to power? Or intolerance to diversity.

I don't think ideology will come up, as last years paper was ideology heavy.

What do you guys think?

I agree about Hitler's rise to power and intolerance of diversity, or at least that's what I'm hoping for. If intolerance comes up for Russia too then I would be in love with AQA.

I'm weaker when it comes to the Cult of Personalities :colondollar:

Same! History is the A-level I care most about for the A. There's just so much information though :frown:

Unit 1C : The reformation in Europe 12 marker on the Peace of Augsburg was horrible. I don't remember covering that but the other questions were good

Found both 24 markers for Russia and Germany horrible! Completely messed up my timings too, oh well! :frown:

1N was average. Absolutely loved the Hitler questions and the 12 marker for Russia but the Russian 24 marker really ruined the paper.

01: Explain why the USSR was intolerant of diversity in the 1930s
02: How far was the Soviet Union a Marxist state by 1941?

05: Explain why there was a cult of the Fuhrer in Nazi Germany
06: How important was the Nazi ideology in Hitler's establishment of power between 1928 and August 1934?

Yeah, I spent way too long on the Russian one which left me with no time at all for the Germany one which is why I think I struggled!

I started to write about rise to power (wrong dates -.-) then got up to the end of rise to power realised I did it wrong with 10 minutes to go :L so I amanged to write a mini essay mentioning gleichshaltung and night of the long knives- but looking up it seems that I did write some valid stuff in my first attempt but crossed most of it out :'(

What did anyone write for the intolerance of diversity for the Russia question and Marxism question?

Also, for the Germany 24marker was it ok to speak about:
Industry and agricultural crisis
Role of the elites
Propaganda
Terror and violence
Intimidation with the SA
Elections
Reichstag fire- Enabling Act and Protection of people and state
And then the death of Hindenburg and Oath of loyalty and say in comparison the ideology wasn't as important as other reasons. Also, i missed out the night of the long knives, will that be ok??
