Hmm, I don't think US' entry or Allied victory's gonna be in it this year, cos it's been there in the last two years. I think perhaps the early stages of the war, including the stalemate or the nature of trench warfare or a key battle like Verdun or Passchendaele.

Germany - Perhaps Rise of Nazi Party or Nazi Changes~

Speer - Who knows :)

Pacific- Home Front, Japanese victories or A-Bomb perhaps.

WHat do you mean Speer is easy?

Have you looked at Question Bs on the personality..?

They are so hard..

How do you approach Personality Questions

Adapt the points under 'Significance' or 'Evaluation' to the question... with Speer, you've got plenty of things to talk about, ranging from his relationship with Hitler or his knowledge of the Final Solution or his role as Armaments Minister. Its a matter of practice! :)

Yes, easy to say, but say for a Question like:
'Histories set the record straight' - how does this statement reflect your study of Speer?

When do you talk about historians,, what do you include.. in what 'format'. I.e do you divide your response by historian, chronilogically?

and for Speer:

The revelation of new evidence along with a changing context (i.e. History) allows the true nature of Speer to be exposed. That is as more than an "apolitical technocrat" but rather a man directly involved in the atrocities of Nazi Germany.

But yeah, I'm hoping for a Weimar or Rise of Nazis, maybe even Foreign policy. Core could be anything but is easy with the sources. Indo: Cambodia I think.

Germany: Hoping intensely for the Rise of the Nazi Party. I chose that for our assessment and got 45/45. Really interesting too.

WW1: Maybe Women? At least we all know it won't be Turning Points haha.

I'm hoping for a really solid Weimer question. Don't really care what aspect, I love all of it. I just hate the wishy washy questions. =<

Perhaps whether or not Weimar was doomed from the start, or the consolidation of Nazi power during 33-34 (that'd be pretty good).

The inherent flaw of Weimer is my specialty
So, that would be awesome

So would consolidation. Nazi culture is always good.

Anything on the Reichswehr/Wehrmacht would be pretty good as well, or the aims of foreign policy. As long as they give some on Nazi Germany after '33, then I'd be satisfied =p

Same. I hope it's straightforward, but still leaves room for interpretation.
