I found both alright actually, Germany was so much better although I fumbled the 6 marker SO BADLY. For the counter argument I talked about stresemann completely sub consciously 😭 But it’s fine I think I’ll only drop 1 or 2 marks

I chose the first one for the 2nd for Germany talking about Total War, and did the 1st for Cold War where I mentioned the attitudes of the West so like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan.

No. I do standard because I am in England
Cold War/Superpower Relations are the same topic...
Germany/Development of Dictatorship was so nice as was Superpower Relations questions
Overall a super nice paper IMHO

i hate changes in medicine so much omg. the whole paper is all knowledge based, no sources or extracts, and so much content to cover ☹️☹️ probably the worst section for me
