^somebody with a keen eye.

just a couple of sample papers, most of them i'd be covered for bar the section D's

Delta_ie

Just had to let them know, they were starting to get their hopes up...

TailFeather

Just wonderin you know for Hitler's consolidation + Nazification of Germany, do you include info about tackling the economy?

I didn't include it in one essay and my teacher said i needed it. Then a few months later, did the same essay, included it and my teacher said it was irrelevent!!

Very confused!

randomfella

i'm saying how he played on the insecurities of people.. etc.
EMployment was a problem facing 6 million when he assumed the reins of power. Autarky and 4 year plan, modernisation plan. Boost in employment reduced critics thus opposition to him achieveing a totalitarian state.

so yea i would mention it. If i can i'll do up an essay on it later. Not sure if it merits a full paragraph. prob does i dunno.

bounty_hunter

Am I right in interpreting from this thread that everyone is expecting Stalin to come up in one way or another?

Shinny-dee

yeah Stalin hopefully!randomfella....u have scared me to death are those sample dept papers??lots of that stuff u said came up last year though. what d u think r d chances of a nice easy paper like geog for d last year??

randomfella

Can't remember got them off a website. IF there anything like geog it will be good. Surprised to hear so much about stalin i must say, hitler is hotly tipped for consolidation since foriegn came up last year or cold war is an outsider.

I've been studying davitt for the last hour so i'll post some notes on him up. Even though i already have if u look bak about 3 pages on this thread

I got them off a website i think can't remember, so prob not 'dept papers'.

MICHAEL DAVITT

As a young law student studying in London, Mahatma Gandhi was inspired by the writings and methods of Davitt. In later years Gandhi attributed the origin of his own mass movement of peaceful resistance in India to Davitt and the Land League.

Assessment of place in history
· has been called the "Father of the Land League" but his solution to the land Question was rejected by a majority of tenants and HR Party
· long-term policy of Land Nationalisation was too radical for a Irish tenants
· perhaps not having any direct experience of living on the land meant he had not developed a real instinctive sense of the problems of the land
· greatest achievement was in mobilising the masses in the Land War of 1879-81
· helped to transform the lives of tenant farmers
· was a key figure in enlisting Irish American support because of his Fine background and contact with John Devoy
· Davit is highly regarded among some historians for his writings on humanitarian issues and his attempts to teach the Irish AND British working classes to cooperate

U couldn't possibly be any safer.

How do u reckon the section A will come up. I hope jsut for michael davitt but i'd say they'll throw in parnell with him as part of the one question. Either way i'm prepared.

Delta_ie

Just a quick Q, I know what constructive unionism is but what does ulster unionism involve...

phantom_lord

I'd bet on Davitt, hasn't come up in a few years. I thought they might throw in Parnell as it's the last year. They might do a kinda question to sum up the course, ie who did the most out of the 3 or something like that. Out of the last 10 years i think at least one of the 3 has come up.

What do people think of this:

Sec. A - Davitt/Land, Parnell/HR, Unionism
Sec. B - Inter party gov., Cumman na nGaedheal, Fianna Fail in power
Sec. C - French 3rd Rep, Bismark,
Sec. D - Stalin, Hitler, Euro unity

randomfella

Assess the performance of the interparty governments.
Anybody willing to type up an essay on this? Or even just give me the paragraph headings

oh and for people needin somethin for section d, spanish civil was is dead handy, really simple and laid out. Causes of the war equals:
really Regionalism (ie basque and catalan autonomy)
some extremists wanted total independence
others ie. army. felt break up of spain would
be detremental
retarded Religion (catholic church being seen by some as
upper class and too conservative ie not allowing change.)
Others saw C.C. as essential part of spanish identity.
s Social tensions: landless peasents in south tried to occupy
unused land on vast estates. Civil guard used to evict them.
Urban workers: bad working conditions and lack of worker rights
p Political divisions. 3 Divisions LEFT: Commies,Anarchists,Socialists
and republicans
RIGHT: Catholic/Monarchist CEDA,
Falange (facists):p Carlists and
conservative radicals
The rest: Regional autonimists
a The Army:Got lots of state funds, inefficient due to corruption.
had right to intervene in politis. Ponounciamiento - used to overthrow regimes

Just remember really retarded SPA. Oh you should also know political problems up to 1936 and international reaction to the War.

I think the three times that it has appeared on the paper the question has been the same
Treat for the causes of and the internation reaction to the spanish civil war

I'll know 3 for each after a bit more cramming,
Sect A: Unionism, Davitt/Land League and Home Rule Party 1900-1918
Sect B: Interparty, Ireland in WW2, FF in power
Sect C: Eastern Question, French 3rd, and either Tsarist Russia/Versailles/Causes of WWI (anyone want to recommend which of the three I should do?)
Sect Stalin (int & ext), Hitler (internal) and Mussolini (int & ext)

I have a bad feeling I'll get stung in one of the sections
