Thanks, these answers look very promising. Which event did you miss out on for the 15 marker? I skipped the INF Treaty 
And what event did you do for the 13 marker? I chose to do the Hungarian Uprising and linked it to De-stalinisation.

I thought the paper was okay, but the 13marker had a small date range. Q.2 was a wired one, but I put the answers that was in your unoffical mark scheme. Now I have to make up for the grade in the Germany and Britain paper
