I'm studying:
-Peacekeeping and the League
-Origins of WWII
-The Early Cold War
-1920's USA
-1930's USA
-US in Vietnam
What I've been doing is making notes and really consolidating knowledge etc, for the origins of WW11 and Cold War I've found it really useful to sum things up into causes, events, results/reactions, facts & figures. I've also made timelines of events for those two units and then drawn lines to link every single event so I know how I could link them in a ten marker.
This was a little harder to do for the peacekeeping unit since that was more treaties and structure compared the the other two which was more a series of events. But, I've consolidated knowledge with notes, highlighted the responses and how it failed in keeping the peace, and wrote out a list of things and linked them all again for ten mark prep.
Best of luckkkk!

I wrote the same as you! But I mentioned the division of Ger into 4 states too.
I don't think you had to though

My friend said it was specifically what they agreed on about Germany but I wrote about the USSR joining the war against Japan and free elections. The only problem is that no one can remember whether Germany was mentioned in the question

i said germany in 4, berlin in 4, mentioned who owned each sector, and i mentioned the fact that stalin wanted more reparations (i know that last bit might be wrong but thought was worth a shot)
