My teacher said it was pretty likely a question on divided Germany would show up, like a question on either East or West Germany. It did on last year's AS paper which I sat, and there's been so many questions on divided Germany over the years

My teacher seems to think the factors that caused the division of Germany, that's the end of topic 3 I think, or a question on the success of Adenauer
