Wilson disliked by conservatives as he was progressive? Made it difficult for him to go through with the League perhaps?

Also re: to Coolidge question "Xx4L3x": He did the following: continued prosperity (laissez faire), no scandals in his administration, Indian Immigration Act 1924 and immigration acts :smile:

Laissez-faire. Let them get on with it without interfering because it had worked previously - we all know how that ended.

Thought of some possible questions:

Q1A. Explain why Wilson won the election of 1912.
Q1B. How successful was Wilson's foreign policy in the years 1914-1920?

Q2A. Explain why the KKK declined in the 1920s.
Q2B. How important was technology in shaping the 1920s?

Q3A. Explain why Japan attacked the USA in 1941.
Q2B. How important was World War II in stabilising the American economy in the years 1939-1945?


Forgive me if I am wrong, but would Q3A not be an extremely odd one? I cannot remember much of the syllabus ever focusing on the reasons for Japan's bombing of PH; anything on that topic usually focuses on USA's response. I know there was a little bit about the USA's restriction of oil trade, but other than that I would think it weird for that to come up.
