    History's the most difficult exam to predict. The church's should come up in the EU topic, but we all know it won't. Same with the rise of Sinn Fein, 1916 etc!

    There are no valid prediction in history. Just learn all the casestudies, their effects on society and what happened directly before and after them.

    It's the only case study with some meat in it. The other two are very trivial.

    They wouldn't be on the syllabus if they're "trivial"?

    very good chance of mussolini or russian dictators showing up this year...
    also vietnam war and racial issue for america topic...
    and cumann na gaedheal on soverignity section...
    my guess based on many other people's opinion and mock papers :)

    not that they're trivial, but Sunningdale is just more significant I think.

    I think Sunningdale for document, anti-semitism/holocaust for europe because this year was a big anniversary, vietnam for america and they always have one to do with space and/or technology, Ireland something to do with the rise of fianna fail and/or cumann na ngael because of the economy at the moment !!

    I really don't think the people who set the exam papers pay any attention to anniversaries or current affairs. Every history expert I've ever heard talking about the course has said this. They can ask whatever they want, it's not like the language exams where questions tend to be topical.

    If you learn Butt, Parnell, Redmond and the general rise of Unionism you are virtually guaranteed a question. Maybe the strike and lockout to be safe.


    History is hard to predict but I have noticed in Dictatorship and Democracy that, so far at least, questions tend to mirror what came up the year before last to a certain extent.
