Honours History

Tellox

Ah, History. The bane of my exsistance.
Luck will be the determining factor between a D and an A in this, unfortuntly. Anybody got any ideas of what'll come up? All Im confident enough in guessing is the 1916 rising, it being the 90th aniversary this year, and the first year the marches took place in ages. That being said, they might throw in the War of independance aswell, but I cant see it going beyond civil war.

Im guessing Hitler & Imperialism for european, but thats purely on gut instinct. And on the gut instinct topic, I've a very large feeling that the 1913 lockout will show up for the case study, unfortuntly. Heres to hoping cultural nationalism will rear its head.

Any ideas?

Yeah, hopefully something decent on the pre 1932 part of the irsh course will come up. I'd say something like Main Events of the Cold War or Steps to European Unity will come up in Div and Realignment. Hopefully anyway.

Fabio

I'd like if something came up o nthe fall of the Weimar Republic or on Mussolini.

As for Irish History, WT Cosgraves Contribution to the Irish Free State or something on the 1918 General Election would be the job.

In Division and Realignment, I'll be hoping for the Oil Crisis of 1972 or else the Hungarain Uprising.

I reckon if you cover cold war and european unity for division and realignment you're sorted.

You mean most of that part of the course? Hot-dog!

Only covering Mussolini and Hitler myself. Hitler will probably come up but I'm hoping it's Mussolini.

If Church-state relations in Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy comes up, I will get up and shake my beautiful ass in the middle of the exam hall.

based on what?! also, mussolini pretty much raped the economy so i dont expect that;)

Dave Larkin

Well, at least one non-document based case study should come up in each topic. That's the way it's laid out on the SEC sample paper and what our teacher has been preparing for. If you have all 9 of them and a few other essays prepared, you should be grand.

Perhaps, but he improved it a bit, THEN raped it.

ah not far off it. he was such an idiot. remember his plan to increase birth rate? he banned homosexuality:D

Nichololas

What does everyone think will come up in the Ireland 1912-1949 period? At the moment I'm only studying Easter 1916, Sinn Fein in 1918 Elections, Treaty and Civil War, but that leaves out a whole swathe of the stuff, like Home Rule, Partition, Irish Free State. Feck!

casanova_kid

i'm studying anything before civil war, they have to ask something on that period.

Rockerette

cmon Cumann Na G's Economic Policy....

Nichololas

I'm thinking Home Rule, 1916 Rising, 1917/18 Elections, Treaty and Civil War. Don't see how they could spread out questions without asking something on those.

Nope.

His Minister of Finance improved it a bit,THEN Mussolini raped it.

There's someone who'll be answering a Mussolini's anti-homosexual policy question.

im not gonna cover anything new tonight, just look iver my very gay, but very effective spider graph thingies i've done all year.. i have about 20 in total.. any if i know all them, i'll be dandy. i wont... but if i did



ideal world:

-Anti-Semitism in France and Russia from Nation States..
-Stalin's Red Terror & The Moscow Show Trials from Dictatorship & Democracy
-Cumann Na nGaedhael's Economic Policies, OR N. Ireland during WW2, including the Blitz and all that jazz.
-Strike & Lockout Documents

Late response but that makes me laugh every time I revise the crazy Italian bastard. I put an arrow pointing to it with "lols" at the side a long time ago. I clearly haven't changed a bit. I believe he also put taxes on being a bachelor. Nub.

Orizio

Meant to study both Business and History today but the world cup and tiredness have thrown everything off.Just hope...

Bismarck/Wilhelm.
Hitler/Mussolini.
Cumman na nGaedhal/Belfast during WW2.

...come up or I could struggle.Things tend to come to me during History exams anyway.

Taxing bachelors and tax reliefs for the married are hardly stupid policies.Indeed they are two policies that much of Europe have/will be forced to turn to with a low birth rate cropping up throughout Europe these days.

Taxing bachelors and tax reliefs for the married are hardly stupid policies.

Except, they are a bit. They didn't work for big Muss, and they infringe on natural equality or some such. I suppose, however, that we already have them in place, albeit subtley. Anyway, don't politicise this forum.
