Mnemonic? Ah I would love that so much!! Last years 24 marker was so awful aha. Any suggestions for Germany? I'm thinking maybe war communism or collectivisation or industrialisation for 12 mark

Mnemonic's like each word represents a topic so like with Stalin's Rise to Power we have GOLDDIGR (I mainly remember weird ones).
e.g.
G = General Secretary; O = Opportunism; L = Lenin Legacy; D = Death of Lenin; D = Defeat of Trotsky; I = Ideological weakness of Bukharin; G = Grave Mistakes of Zinoviev and Kamenev; R = Ruthlessness.

For Germany I think Limits to Diversity might pop up which will be easy.

If Industrialisation is the 12 marker for Stalin I will probably cry from happiness aha. Could not of handled that 24 mark from last year though.

What do you mean leaders? I only learnt Germany and russia

Ohh! My school taught all three so we have a choice if some of us are weaker on one. But a lot of schools do teach just two. We do Germany, Russia and Italy but Italy is really similar to Germany.

AQA English by any chance? I've got 2 hours of English in the morning too! The 12 mark Hitler I think they may try and pull out a cult question or rise to power, my predictions are mainly what I pray to come up.
