that is an epic amount of writing!

i did Trotsky and argued that he kept failing.. so it doesn't show us winners.. it was completely unfounded and crap.. haha.. and i only used one historian.. :(
but trotsky was a winner as well
ie revolution, civil and then he makes himself a winner while in exile

Well aren't you fucking fantastic then!

I'm not sure thats exactly what the markers are looking for my friend. Recommended is to fill one booklet, THE ALLOTED SPACE.

You did four times what they wanted?
It might work out, hey! I don't know...
But it will be a bitch to read.

Gosh I'm horrible, apologies for that.

Hahaha. Its alright, I was waiting for it. And I hope it made you feel better :p
But, when half your modern class leaves after an hour and five minutes, you kinda want to talk to clever people about it.
It came off a bit braggy, but eh. Not meant to be. Its all over now, thankfully.

I have large handwriting. The provided / alloted space isn't sufficiant.

think i started with something like 'history is about winners, because it is the winners that write history'

did speer

ie he 'won' at nuremburg, and thus his own interpretation became the accepted/orthodox history. i think i tied in other accounts of him by saying that even 'victory' wont stop the process of historical revision. finished on the note that we can only wonder how much further such a fabricated history would have gone if the germans had won the war.

wrote 25 pages (4th booklet :p)

I wrote about how history is written by the winners and speer wrote his own history therefore he is winner to have survived at all when clearly under closer scrutiny he was just a big fat lier who should have been hanged.

Of course, I knew there was probably a good reason. I am actually envious of people with large handwriting, as it makes things a whole lot easier to read. Mine is usually tiny, but thankfully got slightly larger for this exam.

It did make me feel slightly better, not that I should have done it in the first place.

Nevertheless, I understand what you mean about the idiotic modern class. Although we weren't nearly as bad. About 7 people left with about 20 min to go. But an hour and five, golly...

I did a whole booklet of rather small writing for every section, with 1 and a half booklets for section three, and another page for the last question of core.

Anyway, apologies. You seem cool. What school are you from my dear?

I am astounded by how much people can write on this site.

Lol - Albert Speer, I wrote that history is about "winners" to some extent:
- We learn about Albert Speer's good qualities like his amazing architectural skills and work as the Minister of Armaments. So in that sense, history is about winners.
- But obviously his "loser" or failings have gained more attention, so history is suddenly more about him having shortcomings as a human being - that's where I brought in the negative historiography on him. And because his potential involvement in the Holocaust was where his character suddenly falls down, this makes history more about those who don't win.
