Hey Ana, for origins of the Cold War, would you go into the whole pre-Cold War Bolshevick Revolution, 1917, conflicting motives in latter part of the war, or just go straight from the conferences, emerging differences etc, and then say the Cold War officially began with the blockade or something like that?

Go straight, because some markers/other students would not have done the USSR as well as the Cold War :)

Aha, i reckon the Cold War was officially as soon as the Truman Doctrine in 1947 was announced but that's just my opinion :p

Germany:
1) Assess the role of the depression in Hitler's Rise to power
2) Analyse the impact of Nazi ideology on foreign policy from 1933-1939

Conflict in Europe:
1) Assess the significance of the North Africa Campaign as a turning point in WWII
2) Account for Germany's military success up until 1941

TRUST. ME. these will be the questions
...i have insider knowledge...
If you are right I will backflip with joy haha.

Wow, that would be an awesome essay! You'd just talk about the the Decree on party unity, the NEP, the Scissors Crisis and Stalin taking advantage of the Left V Right arguing :D

Come on origins of the Cold War! Be in there just for me :D
Wat.
Hmm, what textbook did u use for the scissors crisis? i dont think i see much on this stuff in my (older) HTA guide. I wrote notes on this dot point but errr, yeah.

Hoping for some early Cold War question (up to 1968 I'm fine with), do not want anything to do with Detente. As for Russia, Stalin's rise to power (reasons for the rise) would be a great question (for me :p), though I wouldn't mind those totalitarianism Q's either. Thankfully nothing on five year plans (that was last year) and thus no collectivisation/industrialisation. Hate that topic.

Hi!~

In regards to Germany, our class has placed foremost priority on issues of German Militarism (1918-1939) and German Racial Policy. In retrospect, I could imagine that Nazi Foreign Policy could be a prominent possibility.

In essence, our class like many others effectively split the syllabus into five major exam components:
1) The Decline of the Weimar Republic
2) The Rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party
3) Totalitarian State under the Nazis
4) The Impact of Nazi Racial Policies until 1939
5) Foreign Policy (1933-1939)

With Modern History being such a multifarious subject, there are obviously lots of other key features that can be assessed within these categories.

Honestly, from my perspective, surviving the enormity of Modern History is a feat - congratulations to all of you hehe~

Help me :(


For the GERMANY national study, what order did these things happen in, I can't bloody remember!


1. Hyperinflation
2. Depression
3. Booming and provocative ecomony (run on short term loans)
4. Hitler's consolidation of rule of the Nazi party.
5. Stresemann's policies helping economy, but making people cranky.. especially the old 'kaiser's people'

December 1922 to August 1923 - Hyperinflation: This followed Germany's incapacity to pay back reparations and the subsequent Ruhr Crisis.

August to November 1923 - Stresemann's "Great Coalition" that was based on what many historians identify as "False prosperity." Threats of National Separatism provoked a state of emergency under Article 48.

1924 - The Dawes Plan (under Stresemann as foreign minister) provokes success economically but is based on foreign loans that had a very detrimental impact once the Great Depression hit.

1929 to 1933 - The Great Depression and the Nazi Party grows in popularity.

March 1933 - The Day of Potsdam where Hitler is made Chancellor

1933 to 1934 - The Consolidation of the Nazi totalitarian state (Gleichschaltung)

I hope that helps!~

Germany: Role of the Army or the Weimar Republic.. maybe reasons for the collapse?

Indochina: Strategies and Tactics or maybe attempts at peace making. Yuck. Hate Indochina!

My teacher wrote the exam for Cold War and Soviet Union (which is why she stopped teaching us after we did WWI) and before my Chem exam she said "Good luck for tomorrow - its going to be hard."

It was most probably a mind screw, but screwed with my mind it has.
