Pretty sure the Ypres MC was gas masks.

 

[kev-is-red]

Even at Second Ypres, Germany, still unsure of the weapon's effectiveness, only issued breathing masks to the engineers handling the gas. At Ypres a Canadian medical officer, who was also a chemist, quickly identified the gas as chlorine and recommended that the troops urinate on a cloth and hold it over their mouth and nose. The first official equipment issued was similarly crude; a pad of material, usually impregnated with a chemical, tied over the lower face. To protect the eyes from tear gas, soldiers were issued with gas goggles.


DAMN. It appears gauze masks and goggles (C) was the the answer.

So what were the exact questions for Germany, Confict in Europe and the personality?

 

[premiumcbc]

What was the answer for 4? about the aeroplanes and cavalry.

 

[ilianapeters]

Germany:

"The impact of the treaty of Versailles on the Weimar Republic to 1929 was more significant than any other factor."
How accurate is this statement?

OR

Account for the initial consolidation of Nazi Power in 1933 - 1934

Personality:

a) Provide a detailed description of THREE significant events in the life of the personality you have studied.
b) Assess the contribution of the personality you have studied to their period of national and/or international history.

Conflict in Europe:

Assess the effectiveness of the League of Nations to the maintenance of peace in Europe to 1939

OR

Evaluate the significance of 'D' Day and the liberation of France in bringing about the end of the conflict in Europe by 1945.

 

[ilianapeters]

I said that the calvary were affected by inability to move or whatever it was. Something like that.

 

[D94]

Personalities
(a) Provide a detailed description of THREE significant events in the life of the personality you have studied.
(b) Assess the contribution of the personality you have studied to their period of national and/or international history.

Edit: oh, ilianapeters beat me to it

 

[Croompets]

Ohhh yeah only studied D-Day for conflict in europe on the premise it would come up. Booyahhh

 

[Uzername]

it's not a significant dot point, doubt they'll focus an entire question on [consolidation of nazi power].

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!l

Also I was surprised there was an 'Account for' question. Will I still have to provide a discussion?

Man the BOS are so predictable, most predicted D-Day as well as Versailles for Germany. The personality questions were a gift - I thought they'd ask the impact of the person for part a.

 

[weffi28]

For those who studied Albert Speer, I discussed his three careers as the three significant events. Would this be valid?

You mean like, Hitlers architect, arms minister and writer? That would be fine so long as you included something on Nuremburg.

 

[y510920]

I was conflicted between the vegetation and the gas masks for that question.

It specifically stated that they were wearing goggles and gauze, NOT gas masks. Gas masks weren't developed until later, in the early days they just pissed on a cloth and stuck it owner their faces.

So I went with that, rather than vegetation.

And the fact they didn't say which Ypres battle is was annoyed me. Wasn't their 3 of them technically? How can we know for sure that specific picture was the 1st battle and not the 3rd? :/

I honestly wont know anymore, and I guess everybody is going to argue until we know for sure what one it was :/

i used the fact that they didn't specifically indicate which ypres battle to say it has limited usefulness in the last questoin, because the picture looks like its the first battle ypres, and stalemate was not developed that time yet technically (stalemate was after the first battle of ypres) so how can historian study the tactics and strategies to break it?

 

[SXCBEAST]

I said:
* Work as Armaments Minister
* Appointment as the First Architect of the Reich
* Nuremburg Trials

lol what was the third career?

I said they will never specify Treaty of Versailles for Germany somewhere on the forums the other day

 

[enoilgam]

* Work as Armaments Minister
* Appointment as the First Architect of the Reich
* Nuremburg Trials

lol what was the third career?

I reakon this is probably the best way to lay it out for Speer.

 

[t3ry]

Indochina did not have Pol Pot, it specifically stated 'consequences in Vietnam' not indochina

 

[D94]

For those who studied Albert Speer, I discussed his three careers as the three significant events. Would this be valid?

Sure, as long as you make sure you referenced them as separate "events", rather than a biography.

I did his first interaction with Hitler at his university, role as the First Architect and Nuremberg.

 

[t3ry]

I said:
* Work as Armaments Minister
