Hey guys!!
Do you think its a bad idea for me to just ignore democracy of Britain and focus more on women, liberal reforms and labour/welfare state?

Also, anyone here doing USA? I'm seriously worrying about that part of it!!

it's not a bad idea. I did just that, I completely ditched democracy.

Yeah, that's the issues list I was talking about. The question in the Grade Booster is "How successfully did Germany pursue its foreign policy between 1933 and 1939?" or something. I don't know if I'm just being dim. Would it come under the success of British foreign policy (issue 4)? I might just email my lecturer about it. :erm:

I think it comes under issue 2 about assessing the methods used by nazi germany. Issue 4 is just about Britain

Yeah, most people have said that. The Grade Booster made it sound like it was similar to issue 4, except about Germany. But issues 2 and 4 are the ones I'm not preparing for anyway.

hi guys, good discussion going on here!

I knows both liberals and labour reforms both very well , however slightly concerned that either will not come up.

Would someone be able to suggest what to revise for democracy? im aware of some of the reforms like 1867 but if someone could bullet things to learn about to answer a democracy q it would be great!

Thanks :smile:

I feel like I'm spamming all these threads, but:

A quick question about issue 6 in the appeasement topic: can they ask, for example, "To what extent was ____ the reason behind the British government's decision to abandon appeasement?"

OH WHAT? WHO TOLD YOU THAT? THAT'S MY BEST TOPIC! :eek:

My History teacher. He might have told me a load of crap, but apparently my History department has seen the paper and that there isn't a Welfare State one.

Sorry. Best of luck to you.

No one hold me to this, but my History teacher has told me otherwise. Due to the "random" way in which the questions are chosen, if no Welfare/Labour questions came up, then there would be no Fascism questions. If that were the case, a large majority of people would fail considering many schools only teach the Fascism part of the German/Italian topics. I wouldn't worry too much about it, since there has been a question concerning the two every year, as well as Fascist question.

Anyway, I'm doing Liberal reforms, Labour Welfare State, Italian Nationalism, Unification and Facism. Not been taught democracy, and have suffrage as a back-up, but I don't know that well at all. :frown:
