ikr there's so much it can be on
i think elizabeth should be fine cuz there's only so much it can be on but idk what last year's questions were so hard to rule anything out
reasons for the english armada victory hasn't come up and neither has the reasons for the increase in poverty/the role of dudley so they're possible??

im not sure, maybe gas attacks as they haven't done that yet but true individual battles hasn't rlly come up either. What you thinking for the main questions (12 and 16 marker) I probably want 18/19th century as I think it has the most to say ( germ theory, antiseptic, anaesthetic, John Snow, Florence nightingale etc)

i mean idk what last years was for medicine but the changes in care and treatment / improvements of medical training hasn't come up in a while so that could be a good 12 marker!!
yeah gas attacks was the 'how useful' question in 2020 so could be a good 2 features one!!
