Our teacher told us that we'd get very little marks for writing them in that form. Paragraphs and full sentences are the way to go.

Anyone have a cold war account please ?[/QUOTE

JFK president early 1960's totally opposed communism
cold war crisis between usa and ussr
americans policy of containment
tried overthrow communism defeated at bay of pigs
ussr trade link with cuba
secretly placed missiles in cuba to prevent american attack
easier launch missiles from cuba destroy more cities
us found missiles using u2 spy planes
kennedy set up a senior advisor's committee to decide what to do
placed blockade on cuba any ships travelling in or out would be shot
they placed cuba in quarantine said they would attack ussr if any missiles shot from cuba
ships continued war seemed likely
both sides had nuclear weapons this was very dangerous
JFK sent his brother to negotiate with the soviet ambassador
reached compromise
soviets withdraw missiles from cuba
us withdraw secret missiles from turkey
agreed to co operate
hotline set up between white house and kremlin
partial test ban treaty set up
both parties agreed to stop testing nuclear weapons

these notes can be used both to describe an event during the cold war and a leader during a major cold war crisis in people in history (leader being Jhon F kennedy) i hope these help

Would you people reconmmend learning about the Jesuits? I find it boring and somehow I just can't absorb any significent information on them besides the fact they had a major role in South America ... would you say a paragraph quesiton on them will come up this year?

It came up last year in section five so I doubt it'll come up again. There's always a choice with the paragraphs though so if you know the other reformation stuff you should be grand! C:

Yer, it won't come up this year, just seen it. I hate the reformation .. the only thing I know is Martin Luther XD. I spent all day today learning mind-maps, I have like 20 already learnt and like another 10 left ... :pac:.

For the Ulster Plantation account on the effects on Culture and Customs is talking about new towns being set up relevant or would that be more Political Control?

Heno97

Any predictions for question five and six?

abcdefghijkl

I'm a little nervous about the 1st/2nd year Q.6 option. I hope it's something I know well, 'cause I haven't even taken a glance at the Irish section or Social Changes section in my book, and don't plan to.

cfc.forever

Why wouldn't you plan too? You have the oppourtunity now to get a good grade in History and you're throwing it away. Study man

I can get a good grade by doing the 1st/2nd year section and World War II+Cold War section in question 6. I just don't have a backup plan if something isn't to my taste. However, I think it's a wiser choice to go over everything I plan on doing tomorrow, rather than beginning to study something new that isn't necessarily needed. Revising everything from 1st year, 2nd year and World War II today, will hopefully decrease the chance getting a scare in question 6, as I'll hopefully know my stuff well enough to stick to my plan.

Alright, i'm starting to freak out. I think reformation will come up for Q6 A) by looking at the past papers. I can't find my notes on the Jesuits and Calvin and the City of Geneva.

Does anybody care to share 6 bullet points(facts) on both:
-Jesuits
-Calcin and the city of Geneva

I will trade notes if you want XD. I'm pretty loaded with history besides them two

abcdefghijkl

• Ignatius Loyola founded the Jesuits.
• He came from a noble family, and was a soldier but became wounded.
• Whilst recovering, he read books about the lives of saints and decided to dedicate himself to God.
• With seven companions, Loyola set out to preach to Muslims in the Holy Land.
• A war prevented them from getting there, and they ended up in Rome.
• Here Loyola founded the Society of Jesus or the Jesuits.
• Their aims were to spread faith by missionary work and educate the young and poor.
• The Jesuits were an army dedicated to the service of the pope.
• The head was called the General.
• He wrote a prayer book call Spiritual Exercises.
• The Jesuits set up schools in many countries.
• Jesuits missionaries went to Protestant countries to preach the Catholic faith and Catholic countries to persuade people to remain loyal to the Catholic faith.
• The Jesuits travelled to America and Asia.
• They protected native South Americans from exploitation.
• St. Francis Xavier, a famous Jesuit missionary, preached Christianity in India, Sri Lanka, Japan and Malaysia.

Uh oh... that was a bit more than six. I suck at bullet points.
