These are what my teacher predicted and tbh if these came up I'd be delighted!
Irish History:
Michael Collins <3
Fall of Home Rule/Rise of Sinn Fein
Eucharistic Congress
Anglo-Irish Treaty

Norther Ireland:
Sunningdale Agreement
Faulkner
Welfare State
Apprentice Boys of Derry

American History:
Truman
Organisation Man
Domestic Affairs (Racial Tension/Drugs/Crime/influence on foreign policy)
US Foreign developments 1973-1989
Montgomery Bus Boycott
The collapse of concensus

Document:
India.

I'm fairly positive if you knew all these you'd be grand!

Just remember the examiner is looking for quality and not quantity, a good history exam answer of 3-4 pages will be plenty to get you a good mark. Best of luck!

Did it last year but remember that when the consolidsation of catholic identity or womens suffrage didn't come up a few people were surprised. ( this is ireland 1870-1914). So I'd tip one of them to come up anyway if that's any help. Maybe education in that period as well. For Hitler section maybe something to do with his coming to power & establishment of a totalitarian regime & something to do with French politics between 1920-40 or Vichy France.

3 pages for a history essay? o_O

Also, do people think Parnell will come up for Movements for Reform? There was a Home Rule Question last year but it didn't actually mention him so...

Seriously, you only have 40 mins per question (assuming you are doing honours) take into account, what question you will do and your plan for the answer, you don't feel that time going. Keep it to the point, over 4 pages might mean your answer loses its shape.

Roughly going along the guidelines, I should be ok for everything except foreign developments 1973 - 1989, so that is what I shall brush up on.

Aye I wouldn't mind that. Hoping for a good NI question too.
