If the Berlin airlift is a narrative question it's basically free marks

I also do Early Elizabethan England and Cold War. I have a feeling for Cold War, it's going to be something about one of the doctrines. In Crime and Punishment paper they picked such a minor detail for the the Whitechapel 4 marker so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd pick other minor topics like the Sinatra Doctrine or something (perhaps linking to Gorbachev? and consequences)

does anybody have any Spain and the new world/early Elizabethan England predictions? I feel like Elizabeth will be KT3 (education, leisure,poverty and exploration) but literally nobody does Spain and the new world lol

idk if you do cold war but I've been doing a literal essay plan for every topic. So a narrative, consequence and importance one, on flashcards.

i do what you do, but it so true - no one does it. i have a feeling the narrative is gonna be Pizarro and one of the 16s for eee on education or leisure; the other on Raleigh or the Armada
