What'd people write for his contribution?

I just focused on architectural contribution and economic/war contribution. It was 15 marks, and there was already quite a bit of detail in the ones I chose, so I left it at that.

Did anyone else do nationalism for vietnam?

 

[isabellatres]

no one did the nationalism question for vietnam, the other one was so easy.

also, did everyone do the second Russia question on Stalinism's impact on the Soviet State until 1941?

 

[SXCBEAST]

What'd people write for his contribution?

I did;

- Architecture

Overall pretty decent, cant complain

WW1 - yer i have no idea about the question that people are arguing over here, i put down conditions of the trenches but now i think about it the vegitation seems more likely, still no clue.
the source analysis texts we were given to analyse didnt actually relate a great deal to strategies and tactics but it was still easy. did anyone notice the picture has like no information about it all? lol obviously unreliable aye

Germany - the nazi consolidation question was so narrow, i doubt many people across the state looked at it. i did the weimar one. didnt remember a great deal of specifics about the treaty of versallies but instead i said the treaty indirectly played a big part as the remunerations payments that were forced on germany in the war guilt clause brought about the occupation of the ruhr leading to hyperinflation leading to dawes plan leading to start of great depression the path of which ensured failure of the weimar republic + the treaty enforced democrasy upon germany and it was from this that the weimar constitution was constructed- constitutional flaws article 48 and proprortional representation..... ionno, i'm hoping thats enough to get me a raw band 6 mark in this section

Leni - Loved it <3 3 significant events- i just picked how she came into acting and film direction, victory of faith, triumph of the will and olympia and the last of nuba and the people of kau... lol. i recon dat shoulda been substancial 4 dat
- i dont think there is rly anything else you could have looked at for leni aside from her reputation developed by her film triad in promoting nazi ideals, the fact shes full of shit and her influence to the film industry.... even still i highly doubt i got full marks

Cold War - so bumed 4 this! when i first read it in reading time i nearly started crying. but in the end it wasnt actually dat bad. or rather it wouldnt have been had i given myself more than 30 mins to write the essay. only had lyk 4 and 1/2 pages on this . i did the arms race one but i ended up saying that initially the developments in arms wernt as significant an aspect of the cold war but rather the events of the war and the foreign policies and perspectives it generated using the berlin blockade and its enforcement of the truman doctines policy of containment as well as increasing western suspicians of soviet expansionist tendencies. but then i said it changed as the progression went on esspecially once the soviets had developed nuclear weponry using this as a cause forceing america into the korean war. then i mentioned about how the korean war played a part in bringing about peaceful coexistance and other jargon of the period but how this had little effect in preventing arms developments as they developed heaps during eisenhowers era and i mentioned lyk a brief sentence at the end about the cuban missile crisis reflecting tensions brought about by this arms developments (didnt have time to do more) ..... yer i kno, its a fail essay... hope it doesnt screw me over too badly

fingers crossed 4 band 6,
although one can only hope xD

Nup. Did Lenin. Pretty much the same as 2009 i think. So I'd already done it and felt confident

 

[Sngbrd06]

Can someone confirm which sources we had to write on for the 6 and 10 markers?

 

[premiumcbc]

fingers crossed 4 band 6,

I hope you didn't write your response like this

 

[hscrabbit]

How many pages did you guyd write?? I only wrote 3 for USA and 5 for indochina

Nope, I did the first one on Lenin. I happened to know a bunch of stuff about that because our teacher randomly started ranting about it and I couldn't remember so I studied it intensely XD

 

[premiumcbc]

Can someone confirm which sources we had to write on for the 6 and 10 markers?

Pretty sure; 6 marker = Sources D and E

and 10 marker = Source C and D

Anyone do Nelson Mandela?

Is it okay if we spoke about more than three events?

Because I spoke about;

- ANC Youth League
- MK
- Presidential role
- Springboks

For the evaluation part I spoke about his contribution through the use of the underground military wing - to continue to resist apartheid policies. I also spoke about RIvonia trial and how he ended his speech with a challenge and not a plea - hence inspired others to continue with the resitance movement - hence, this could be evaluated as having contributed to the means of wanting to achieve a transition in South Africa? because he was going to be in prison anyway and can't do anything. Also spoke about Springboks and TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission)

Not sure if any of you do Mandela here, but yeah just in case, lol.

wasnt six marker B and C?

Germany - the nazi consolidation question was so narrow, i doubt many people across the state looked at it.

I chose the consolidation of power question, seeing as the question I guess was more straightforward and less open to interpretation. I don't really think it was narrow though; it is a direct dot point of the syllabus, so that made it quite easy to answer as I prepared for it.

 

[slyhunter]

wasnt six marker B and C?

Yes

 

[Sngbrd06]

So we didn't need to use E at all? God hope not...

 

[premiumcbc]

wasnt six marker B and C?

Yes, sorry I just looked.

 

[SXCBEAST]

So we didn't need to use E at all? God hope not...

yeah E was just a multiple choice.

 

[Sngbrd06]

yeah E was just a multiple choice.

Ahh that's right. Ok thank God for that.
