A2 Edexcel History Unit 3 12th June 2012 (Discussion)

Seeing all these posts about the Cold War, the French Revolution and Nazi Germany is really making it all the more obvious how boring the Tudors are. I'm sure they're just as horrible, but I still feel jealous of all the other options :P

... but the sample paper was:

"How far do you agree with the view that the Cold War came to an end because of popular protests in Eastern Europe which the USSR was powerless to resist?"

Anybody doing 'D2 – Britain and the Challenge of Fascism: Saving Europe at a Cost? c1925–60'?

Panic setting in.

^^

honestly, you're all scaring me so much. everyone knows everything and i litterall know nothing about the cold war! still undecided on whether to learn origins or endings! haven't even started1!!!!! ahhhhhh

Omg i'm hoping to do history at royal holloway aswell! What grades do u need to get?

It seems like the prediction is the Second Reich and the Stresemann years

Also for Germany there is only been two papers so far and both are June (they don't do a january one for this)

Hope this helps!

religious fundamentalism? woa i can write one paragraph about that at the most.
I think opposition will definitely come up, but what sort of question could they write about that topic?? 'To what extent was Huey long a threat' or something along those lines. Or they could just screw us over and ask two questions about McCarthy two consecutive years in a row.

I was confident yesterday now I'm bricking it!

Not helped by the Euro's being on telly!

Ok, French Revolution is doing my head in, anyone else share my pain or are you all doing the fun options? :P

Religious fundamentalism is basically the divide between rural vs urban and the Scopes trial -you can expand that to include the KKK and even Prohibition as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union were the ones who mainly campaigned for it.

Opposition will most likely be in section A if it does come up because Section B is just the Depression and the New Deal (occasionally mixed with WWII). That was my mistake in the previous post.

They could ask 'To what extent was the left-wing opposition Roosevelt faced the most serious' or something like that. McCarthyism would be a good question but there's the risk of talking too much about the 2nd red scare.

Haha, luckily for me I have no football knowledge whatsoever. What topic are you doing?



Yep, I share your pain. The terror is just a killer of a topic

If you're willing to take a gamble, I would say only fully revise the war economy part in wartime Germany, as the two other sections from that area (final solution ans opposition) have already come up. Skimming through the others would be just a safety, and then you can spend a good chunk of the day on exam technique.
