Inter war was appeasement and there was a 4 marker on the battle of little big horn which I reviewed by chance last night. Super pleased with this paper.

I do america 1920-1975 and conflict and tension in asia 1950-1975 and that paper was actually so good apart from the fact i completely forgot the structure of answers. It was really similar to a past paper i did for PPEs so i was so happy with the write an account and 16 marker for c+t!!

A really nice paper for Germany and inter-war years. There was a really weirdly worded question for the 12 marker in Germany, which I had to think twice about; something along the lines of, 'Which was the factor most affected the lives of German people after 1933, -Nazi economic polices or -Nazi culture and censorship?', I was a bit lost as to what to say for the first bullet point so ended up talking about the KDF and SDA policies... what did other people say?

I also was really stumped by the Dolfuss affair source question!?! Why was Hitler portrayed negatively?

I've had a look through the revision guide and from what I can find it is actually things like the RAD, KDF, SDA. The RAD improved unemployment and also built hospitals, and the 1000+miles of autobahns. KDF and SDA improve working conditions, building new offices, bathrooms and even swimming pools whilst also organising cheap holiday etc. That's what I think we were meant to put!
