That was my trial question :D Except we had to go to 1975 - Talk about US tactics in the South - Talk about quality of life in rural areas - Compare the respective economies under different leaders. - Government policies and the effects they had on the people (ie Sihanouk allowed the US to...

Facism was the concept the Nazis imposed on the people. Totalitarianism was the way they did it. FACISM = what they Nazis' believed in TOT. = how they imposed it on the people.

It's never too late imo, I'm still digging up info on the Punic Wars. Reading Book 8 of Herodotus and Pentecontatea in Thucydides should help a lot.

Oh, ok, then. I didn't realise that you could ask for a forum to get added :rolleyes: . I wish I knew that when I first signed up here!

That's just the line I take in most of my essays on tot. especially on historians who claim Nazi Germany wasn't a tot. state. My own thoughts (and somewhat bias as I have an enormous amount of respect for Hitler's methods) lead me to think that the people who are in agreement with Friedrich are...

My teacher said it was absurdist.

A forum for every subject, no matter how obscure the subject is

That's my argument that the Friedrich 6 point system for totalitarianism is anachronistic. It was made AFTER the fall of Nazi Germany, and, as each period fo history needs to be studied on it's own terms, we are applying a new historical definition of totalitarianism on an era where...

The truth is relative to everyone. I have hit the wall, you say I hit the wall hard, another say I have hit it with malice, I say I just hit the wall. The truth is what actually happened, which each person must decide for themselves.

Any text that has something related to the truth and it's portrayal. Newspaper articles are usually the safest and best way to go. The Matrix seems to be a popular pick from what I've heard from other schools.

That's very risky, making one up. Try to refer to a certain type of interpretation (eg Absurdist, Christian, Marxist, etc.) if you can't think of one specifically.

Reliable doesn't have to be objective. To be deemed reliable, it must contain accurate facts. You can write a totally subjective article, but if you can contain accurate facts in it, it can be deemed reliable. Also, if you have a piece of German propaganda that portrays Jews as fat and rich...

:jedi: If we get two questions on Weimar, I'll have a look at another topic. I don't know much about the early USA, but I'll give it a shot.

I type my exams (I got poor handwriting), but when I did my Yr 11 eams, I could only manage 1 page in 40 mins. My English teacher reckons you should be able to do 5 pages minimum in 40 mins.

how much has this thread turned into a cat fight on a scale of 1-10?

English is interesting if your teacher makes it interesting. Although no matter how hard you try, you so cannot make Emma interesting...

Not in great detail. I know they had a hand in the Diem assassination, but that's all I know.

I tend not to do things chronologically, as I forget things really easy. I prefer to do it in groups, which seems to appeal to me more. But then again, that's me.

It's a lot easier to prove that it was tot. than it wasn't, because most of the people who say it wasn't tot. apply different definitions to tot. than what is generally accepted. Like the people who held a conference to determine whether or not Mussolini,'s Stalin's and Hitler's regimes were...

Ditto all that, but don't forget to mention the historians that have made comment on it. Alan Bullock, APJ Taylor, etc.
