Conflict in Europe - Potential 2013 hsc questions? (1 Viewer)

[4596]

What do you think will be the most likely 2013 hsc question for this section? I'm suspecting one from Growth of European tensions but what else do you think?
I heard trial questions give an idea for what the actual hsc question is, right? If so, tell me, what were your questions for this particular section? Thanks!

In past years, there is always something before September 1939 and after 1939.

There are only 4 syllabus dot pts before Sept 1939 compared to about 12 after.

It's worth studying either impact of civilians or turning pts (Air War, Barbarossa, El Alamein, D-Day)

– Battle of El Alamein and the significance of the conflict in North Africa to the European War: 2009

– social and economic effects of the war on civilians in Britain and EITHER Germany OR the Soviet Union: 2007, 2012
– Nazi racial policies: the Holocaust and the persecution of minorities: 2010

– ‘D’ Day and the liberation of France: 2011
– Russian counter offensives 1944: 2006
– final defeat 1944–1945
– Nuremburg War Crimes trials

This is a list of the syllabus dot points and which questions have been asked to date (thanks to D94 for composing this list). I'm thinking they could ask a question on the end of the war or the dictatorships maybe.

I hope they ask about the dictatorships or appeasement since the outbreak of the war hasn't been asked in a good 4 /5 years. Also possibly turning points (African Campaign, air war)

Dictatorships in Germany and Italy is such a dead-end dot point
