Year 10 WW2 study help (1 Viewer)

[Frost1]

In short, I was overseas and missed the first 5 weeks of school

I have a WW2 exam next wednesday and have no idea what i am doing. My teacher couldn't give me the booklet so atm i only have bits and pieces. These are the topics in the notification:

explore the experiences of a soldier during the wars, eg life on the battlefield in North Africa, South-east Asia or the Pacific Islands (World War Il)
explain the causes of WWIl
explain the causes and effects of the holocaust explore issues that affected Australians at home during World War II
investigate the conditions and experiences of the Australian soldiers
investigate the changing roles of women during
WW II
investigate the changes to work on the home front during WW II
investigate the conditions, experiences and perspectives of other people involved in WW II explore the impact of attacks on the Australian mainland during World War II, eg the bombing of Darwin, submarine attacks in Sydney Explain how and why Australians have commemorated the wars, eg ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day

if anyone could provide me with any help whatsoever it be greatly appreciated

so you're sitting an exam. Is it an essay type exam or more of an assessment?
Do you have a google classroom/teams type place you can find more information?
On the whole, it sounds like a fairly broad exam so it might be good if you can ask other students for help

yeah i'm sure i haven't told you anything you don't already know...

Thanks for the reply

In class exam
No essay till the yearly
It’s knowledge (Multies and short answer) and skills (source analysis)
Our school uses teams he has posted some bits and pieces of sheets from the textbook. It seems like multiple sheets from multiple textbooks…

the best thing about history is that even if you don't have the booklet you can search it up online or consult history books / historical sources beyond what your school gives you; i also did this topic in y10 and i am a history enthusiast esp with wars so my advice when you're researching:

• explain the causes of WWII is where you should probably start first as this is the basis of WWII
  • consider the failure of the league of nations (the inherent failures in its doctrines, the fact that different nations had differing ideas and goals and ambitions they were not willing to sacrifice for world peace), the rise of hitler and the establishment of nazi germany, (plus the) rise of fascist italy and imperial japan, the league's inability to stop the heightening of tensions involving those three
  • consider nazi ideology as well - volksgemeinschaft and lebensraum specifically
  • and ofc german resentment over the treaty of versailles (and what the treaty of versailles itself contained) => led to hitler's rise and the several international actions he would undertake violating that treaty after - remilitarisation of the rhineland, anschluss and the munich pact. research how many of the international community was hesitant to take action against them and why from there you should get a good timeline as to why and how nazi germany invaded poland and kickstarted wwII
• exploring the experiences of soldiers is a little more difficult but nothing that consulting google can't do for you, if you want more solid resources looking at trove or the state library or any similar website for primary sources (eg. diary entries) is also pretty good
  • the same applies for experiences of australian soldiers specifically
• changing roles of women was basically because all the men were at war, the women at home had to step up beyond their domestic roles and take up all the labour and industrial jobs at home to support the men, there's a lot on this online
  • also forms an aspect of issues faced by the australian homefront
  • also forms an aspect of changes to work on the homefront
• more issues regarding australian homefront: in australia, the main issue was that japan was the immediate threat to australian sovereignty and that the uk - caught up with fighting germany in europe - would be unable to fully support them (japan bombed darwin in 1942). america, who was fighting primarily in the pacific theatre, stepped in to help and thus lots of them were stationed in australia, there was some tension between american servicemen and aussie communities (search up 'battle of brisbane')
  • bombing of darwin and (maybe) battle of brisbane also forms the impact of attacks on australian mainland. mainly japanese attacks and attempts to invade australia though
• causes and effects of the holocaust involves an extensive look into the history of anti-semitism and how discrimination against jews has changed but endured throughout history, from religious (being blamed for the death of christ) to political to racial (which was emphasised byt the nazis), a lot of holocaust memorial websites have information on this
• other people involved in ww2: in terms of this, women on the homefront form one aspect; another aspect you could search up is probably the internment of german, italian and japanese-australians in interment camps who were considered enemy aliens during the war
• how and why australians commemorate the world wars is once again easily found on the internet; anzac day and remembrance day were set up to commemorate the soldiers of ww1 but both days commemorate all australians who have fought and served
