Oxford History Students and Applicants

I'm not sure if I was right but for the second question I concluded that the source did not tell us that much as it was only about one tribe and you can't generalise that to the whole of the society in that area. Did anyone else do that?

I feel so idiotic for missing that out, as it's probably the most blindingly obvious issue to mention.

I was thinking I should have said this as soon as I came out.

A lot of you seem to have been discussing a single event - did anyone talk about government/governed relationship and the effect/relationship it had on (or with) a particular change? (I believe this was an option)

I.e. I talked about 1930 Germany and the Great Depression's effect as acting as a catalyst for the change from democracy to dictatorship, as tensions which had been building up in the 20s came to a boiling point and popularity of the Weimar Republic diminished in some sectors of society. However, I came to the conclusion that, although this was the base of change, there was a large, complex interaction of factors which led to the eventual Nazi Dictatorship including political intrigue, propaganda, terror etc.

how bad are the interview questions. it said on an example of a oxford student that was sent in an oxford email to look at that he was asked what are the economic philosophical and cultural aspects of a bananna. wtf? i know generally they ask normal questions but what the hell is that about?

I didn't answer the question at all... I'm so screwed.

Nice UCAS choices :P

I wrote on the exact same subject

Did you write about the other factors which paved the way for Hitler's rise to power such as terror, political intrigue etc?
