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
ooh smart i will make an essay plan on that! after ifinish procrastinating

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

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

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

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

for reals? My teacher kept dissing my formatting but I had 3 paragraphs which I think thematically would not make much sense if broken up to that degree- :cry:

well i think it's mostly about readability so if you think spacing it out will sacrifice readability then don't worry too hard about it. just remember that each paragraph should ideally have a single main idea. btw i could be all wrong abt this im just speculating based on what ive heard from my teacher and from past exams

they did power struggle last year and social and cultural change was 2022, stalin essay defintely- rise or political
They did foreign policy 2 years in a row and not long before that too so I don't like to predict based on what hasn't been asked recently I think it is completely up in the air
