watnah man Hitler didn't exist during the weimar period
Lol yep. From where I am right now, looks like I'll be skipping Stalinism.. im praying they don't pull out 2 Stalin questions for Russia..
HAHA at least I'm not aloneSAME.
Ahh really? I felt like Ancient was a seriously good exam. (It's not counting for me so I didn't even study, but overall it seemed easy for those who did study. However, I'm pretty sure it was just because of my topics.. Athenian Society, Pericles etc). Argh whatever happens, I'm just hoping they don't throw some massive curveballIf Modern is as hard as ancient history was I will have a nervous breakdown in the exam.
As I like yoursI like your sig quote...
European conflict:
1. might be a holocaust question. I don't think they ever asked a direct question on it however they can ask it indirectly e.g nazi racial policies
2. causes of ww2 has not been asked for awhile
3. Russia counter offences
4. one or a mixture of allied victory e.g north Africa, air war and d-day
I reallllllly hope that's how it will be tomorrow because it means it will be on the outbreak of war because last year's question was on German strategies/blitzConflict in Europe is always structured like this:
~~~QUESTION ONE~~~
- Pre-war (Appeasement, dictatorships, foreign policies, Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, failure of League of Nations)
- Initial stages of World War II (Success of Germany upto 1941, weakness of Allies, Blitzkrieg)
~~~QUESTION TWO~~~
- Turning points (D-Day, Operation Barbarossa/Russian Campaign/Eastern Front, North Africa, Air War/Battle of Britain/Blitz/Strategic bombing of Germany).
- Reasons for German defeat.
It's not always like that. In 2010, question 1 was about the Battle of Stalingrad and the Russian campaign. Question 2 was the impact of Nazi racial policies on civilians during the European War. And last year, question 2 was about the impact of the war on civilians.Conflict in Europe is always structured like this:

I reckon it will be on totalitarianism. My teacher has a tendency to predict exam questions (predicted both questions for conflict last year).It's not always like that. In 2010, question 1 was about the Battle of Stalingrad and the Russian campaign. Question 2 was the impact of Nazi racial policies on civilians during the European War. And last year, question 2 was about the impact of the war on civilians.
I'm really hoping one of the Russia questions is "reasons for the triumph of Stalin as leader of the USSR". This has never come up from 2008-2012, and I know this perfectly. On the other hand, I'm so shaky on the whole first dot point, Bolshevik Consolidation of Power. If there are two questions on the Bolsheviks, well, I'm screwed. Probably won't be, but still. Ugh. So tempted to not study aims and impact of Soviet foreign policy in great detail since it was asked last year...focusing on Stalin's Rise to power and the Soviet State under Stalin.
For Conflict in Europe, highly likely there'll be a question on growth of European tensions. Maybe appeasement or the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. Every second year they've been asking about growth of European tensions, and since there wasn't a question on this last year, it'll probably be this year.
Personality: expect anything. Hope it's nothing like 2009, "Individuals are products of their times". They haven't used quotes in 2011 or 2012, so maybe they've stopped? Or they're going to use a quote this year.
I think one of them with be something on geopolitical developments in asia and the middle eastAny predictions for Cold War?
