What a joke, I hate this nonsense. We had to do a podcast for our personality: Leni Riefenstahl. I wish they would stick to just a classic speech, so much more opportunity to show what you know and marks are rewarded for historical accuracy and skill rather than showmanship (if I thought I was...

1) Australia has low national savings This means financial institutions have to import foreign capital in order to supplement the lack of domestic capital. The interest from loans shows up on the net primary income as a debit, putting downward pressure on the CAD. 2) Structural issues within...

IMO if you are doing China or Brazil or one of the popular ones, the marker is going to get tired of it (the 5th China in a row..?) In order to wow them you need to be fantastic. But if you pull off a very good essay for an out of the way economy I think you are more likely to access the higher...

I would definitely mention proportional representation but it cant really stand alone. Another semi-myth is the whole 'Germans hated democracy,' trope. The Reichstag existed before WWI and has links all the way back to the Frankfurt parliament of 1848. The fact of the matter is that Germans...

You have to be very careful with the proportional representation argument. I wouldn't say that the proportional representation led directly to the political instability. Proportional representation is of course successful in Germany today. What it did do was, in a sense, fail to dampen the...

This same policy worked in Japan following the Second War making it one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. Stresseman's policies were in no way leading germany into a "hole".

Hitler had the same goals as most other statesmen of the period, recognition of victory in the east, release of Germany from the shackles of Versailles, and the confirmation of Germany as the foremost power of mitteleuropa. However, his methods were different.

To say something like "The Germans used their 'blitzkrieg' tactics," is patently false, they themselves would not recognise the term in an official capacity. The word has emerged after the fact and is not German, who in my opinion are the foremost authority on what tactics they themselves used...

The focus of the Prussian, and later German armies have always been on aggression, typified by battles such as Leuthen, Konigrgratz, Tannenberg and the Battle of France. All involved rapid maneuver of forces in a concentric manner, attempting to hit the body of the enemy where he least expected...

This is a message to anyone doing Conflict in Europe. Although it feels like I'm slaughtering some sort of Holy Cow this needs to be said. There was no such thing as the 'Blitzkrieg' tactic or strategy. Almost the whole thing has been invented following the war as a kind of catch-all to...

How can something be extremely necessary? Either it's necessary or it isn't (in this case the folder isn't). Adding 'extremely' adds nothing to the sentence rather than the belief of the reader that you only have a basic grasp of English.

One of the best approaches, in my opinion, to historical writing is, as I term it, the A.J.P Taylor approach. He recognised that history can be defined through general trends, ideas, events flowing from one another as well as dominant political and social undertones of the period. So often...

Actually I'm coming first in Modern at the moment, after the first Core Study examination.

Good advice on essays but you certainly are arrogant. On what basis do you say you know more about the Weimar Republic than anyone in NSW? I'd say if 1&2 have a better claim than you assuming they did germany, but even that leaves out the dozens of years of former modern history students, oh and...
