    John Calvin created a new Church in Geneva in Switzerland. He named the city the “City of God”, which he contrasted with the city of Rome, which he regarded as sinful. The new religion set up by Calvin in Geneva was very strict and was based on some of the ideas of Martin Luther. However, Calvin’s Church taught that God had decided who was going to heaven even before they were born. This was known as predestination. Calvin only believed in one sacrament, which was baptism. All Calvinist churches were very simple and stained glass windows and statues were forbidden. Calvin introduced very strict religious rules in Geneva. Dancing, singing and swearing were forbidden and people were encouraged to wear dark coloured clothing.

    JESUITS

    The Jesuits were an order of priests set up by an ex-soldier from Spain called Ignatius Loyola. He had been injured in battle and decided to dedicate his whole life to God. He set up the Jesuits in Paris and the Pope accepted them because of their dedication and loyalty. They became known as the “soldiers of Christ”. They travelled all over the world as preachers and teachers and created many schools and universities. As part of their missionary work they attempted to convert Protestants back to the Catholic Church in parts of Poland and Germany. However, their biggest missionary work took place in the “new world” of South America where large numbers of people became Catholic.

    Yeah the Cold War master that and the Blitz, for the WII section and you will be grand for the long questions I rekon. And read over the age of exploration, read over the reformation, a reformer you have studied could come up for people in history's. Goodluck man, I'm getting up at 10 tomorrow to study, no such thing as a lie in for me, not during the exams.

    You seem to be studying the Reformation. So have you covered The Council of Trent? That's a topic that might come up there.
    (also why are you focusing a lot on the reformation? It came up last year, so although I would certainly revise it, you seem to think its coming up this year. Why? Our teacher told us it was extremely unlikely that it would come up...)


  • Registered Users Posts: 120 ✭✭OisinLAD


    What P.I.H essays do you guys reckon will come up ? :?

    It came up on Q5 last year ... not Q6. It came up on 2009 for Q6, so I think and my teacher thinks it will come up this year for Q6.

    ***NOT MY WORDS, FISHER'S WORDS***

    Only 5 chapters can come up since this is 2nd year course but no chapter ever comes up twice in 3 years so you only have to study (i) The Age of Exploration, (ii) Plantations, (iii) Revolutionary Movements.

    Ok now for Age of Exploration you just learn off one thing that is guaranteed and that's Conflict between European powers as a result of the voyages. Trust me it came up in 2003 and 2010 so I'm actually 100% sure that it will cover you. (12 marks)

    For Plantations, it came up twice in last 13 years (2009 and 2001). And to be 100% covered you only need to learn off:
    One of the plantations you studied and its effects on 2 of these 3 : Religion/Political Control/Language and Customs (16 marks)

    For Revolutionary Movements, it came up twice(2008 and 2003) and if you learn off (i) Causes of the American War of Independence (2008) AND (ii) Impact of the War of Independence on France (2003) you are covered


    Now for Q4,

    I am 90% sure that a Voyager will come up. Look at this pattern for Q4 (beer)

    2012 - Revolutionary
    2011 - Voyager
    2010 - Revolutionary
    2009 - Voyager
    2008 - Settler on a plantation (This also came up in 2012 so can't come up at all in 2013

    Now for Q4 (angel)

    2012 - Archaeologist
    2011 - Reformer
    2010 - Archaeologist
    2009 - Monk/Roman
    2008 - Reformer

    Just learn off Reformer along with either a monk or roman and YOU ARE COVERED



    Now for Q6, SOCIAL CHANGE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ARE SO MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE THAN YOU THINK

    Look at Social Change Long Questions

    2012-
    What are the main changes in World of Work since 1945?

    2011- (choose 2)
    Transport/Women's Lives/Leisure

    2010 - (choose 2)
    Communications/Education/Housing/Religion

    2009 -(choose 2)
    Transport/Women's Lives/Sport and Leisure

    2008 -
    Write about Impact of Irish life of the changes in Communications since 1960

    2007- (choose 2)
    Transport/Women's Lives/Leisure

    2006-
    What are the main changes in World of Work since 1945?

    Now from that analysis it is clear that if you learn off 2 of the long questions from 2011 and 2 from 2010 along with the easy short answer Q's from 2008-2011 You will get Very High marks in Social Change properly full marks

    Where it mentions a date for social change, make sure your answer is relevant to the time period asked.

    This is where people come out with nonsense like their granny on a penny-farthing etc - even MY granny was too young for a penny-farthing.
