is this for national study russia

yep

 

[Snoopy:)]

how likely are they going to be asking about specific conflicts for the cold war?

If it's a dot point 2 question they could, but it would only be about Cuba, Prague Spring, or Berlin. And they can only ask about 2 in an essay Q

 

[lazystudentzzz]

ok surley there would be a Q about resembling totalitarianism

by that do u mean Stalin's totalitarianism??

 

[Snoopy:)]

ok surley there would be a Q about resembling totalitarianism

They haven't done it in years so it is highly likely

 

[lazystudentzzz]

Idk if its correct, but Ik they have done the international community a few times
They also haven't done Mandela yet so I'm really hoping we get one on him cause I actually know that stuff.

 

[lazystudentzzz]

noo i know nothing ab mandela

Its ok just yap about the 'Free Mandela' campaign and how he became the figurehead of anti-apartheid movements
Cause it can link into international, which allows for more yap on other things than just him

 

[lazystudentzzz]

for conflict in europe the ones that havent been done yet (at least since 2019) are
- impact of nazi ideology on german foreign policy
-d day and the liberation of france
-russian counter offensives
-nuremberg trials
plus the survey points but idk if those actually get essay questions
i don't even know how to prepare for nuremberg bc what could they possibly ask for 25 marks

 

[michymushroom]

my predictions for

- russia: transformation (they better), impact of bolshevik consolidation or power struggle (but they did last year), if they do foreign policy again my whole modern class is walking out (but u can always choose other option don't forget!!)

- cold war: end of cold war (more likely- haven't done since 2019) and impact of crises

do u think renewal??? bc they never done that before

 

[ralseiawesomefuntime]

in my trials i got by with a 21 and 24 in the essays only writing 2 paragraphs do yall think this is still feasible for the hsc

 

[michymushroom]

renewal of the cold war goes directly hand in hand with end of cold war

i don't think they can ask an essay just on renewal

depends on how much you're writing and how much you split
but hsc modern markers do like structure so aim for 3-4 paragraphs even if your last one's small so the essay resembles a sense of completion even if it's the same amount of content

Assess the reasons for the renewal of Cold War tensions from 1979

this has been a question in trial papers

 

[michymushroom]

i guess you could just then like

- detente
- end of detente - geopolitical developments, failures, exacerbating arms race, invasion of afghanistan
- reagan's rhetoric + gorbachev's inner dismantlement

it's like a crossover dot point? (what i would do personally for structure)

if you got that level of marks it sounds like you might be writing good essays that just need to be broken up a bit more. sadly i believe modern markers are strict about format so if u wanna get the top top marks maybe work on that. but really if you did that well on the trial i doubt you'll do Bad on the hsc
