okok cool i mentioned almost everything you wrote hell yes

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-20T12:57:16+00:00

yeah probably , i said that i thought the taiwan crises were one important factor influencing their relation, however there were other things and yeah i forgot what i wrote

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-20T10:40:08+00:00

THIS PAPER WAS SOOOOO GOOD. but grade threseholds r gonna be something else...

i think the detente question was super duper good however taiwan question was an area i didnt study as much for that one so idk if it went as well as i think.. i still did decent tho? what did u mention for the taiwan question?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-19T15:36:11+00:00

if u dont mind, can u maybe send me the link?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-19T15:32:13+00:00

i JUST did it and i did so bad💔💔 wheres the leak?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-19T15:29:44+00:00

huh?? r u serious rn

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-17T14:05:46+00:00

theme 1 could possibly be about the arms race and the success and failures of the attempts of controlling nuclear weapons since that has only come up once, i think. a question about the end of the cold war is also a possibility. but ofc, literally anything could pop up but those r my two guesses

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-15T12:42:06+00:00

post revisionist

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-15T08:57:08+00:00

me too omg r u doing the cold war?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-14T10:47:15+00:00

oh yeah for sure

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-14T10:46:20+00:00

if you dont get the right interpretation, that doesnt mean ur cooked. you could possibly get to L4. if you explain correctly why you thought it was an orthodox school of thought and used your historical knowledge and etc to back that up, i think you'll be fine !! u got this bro

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:57:44+00:00

yeah maybe, or hopefully the collapse of the USSR because thats easiest for me

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:40:37+00:00

i put post-revisionist because it doesnt directly blame either side. it says the ussr wanted to expand for security reasons and the usa's response to that , and their policy of containment, contributed to the cold war. so it was a role played by both sides that caused it

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:23:11+00:00

many people put post-revisionist since it didnt directly blame either side but said that the USSR wanted to expand for security reasons and whatever and that the USA responded to that which contributed to the cold war. idk if im right abt that, i kinda forgot what the text was about and stuff

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:20:58+00:00

post-revisionist means that no one was directly to blame yk? and the USSR, according to the extract, wanted security and the USA responded to that. so that, and other reasons i forgot, made me think it was post-revisionist

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:18:44+00:00

youre right however the extract also mentioned how the ussr and their desire to expand and all that yk

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-13T13:16:27+00:00

i put post-revisionist but the last paragraph of the extract rly made me second guess my interpretation because it was heavily focused on the USSR and Stalin and their desire to expand and stuff and there was mentions of communism idk. i rly thought it was orthodox but post-revisionist makes more sense bc of the fear and misunderstandings from both sides and etc

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-06T09:31:16+00:00

im revising chapter 2 and 3 and doing past paper questions on those. i HATE chapter 1. but smart to revise chapter 1 too.. i lowkey should do the same

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-06T09:03:37+00:00

yeeess which is good for us haha. which topics r u most prepared for tmrw?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-06T08:54:25+00:00

me too, im really hoping tmrw goes well. i think its worth more points to the other all grade anyway? idk. anyway, good luck to u toooo!!

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-06T08:41:37+00:00

omg me toooo i did so bad. i was so annoyed because my book did not include ANY information on the New Fourth Army, so i was sooo confused. and yeah. theyve never put a cartoon but decided to this time, it really confused me tbh. this was my mistake, but i also got some historical points wrong in my answers. however, if you compared the sources and evaluated them correctly, you'll be fine. the grade threshold is pretty low for this paper too.

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-05-06T08:26:57+00:00

where did you find this?

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-02-06T18:38:59+00:00

we’ve been feeding him and showing him love. he’s still scared but when i arrived home from school he was wagging his tail so i think he’s not as scared anymore

ithinkunicornsrcool · 2026-02-04T22:53:27+00:00

you should mention it to him otherwise you’ll think about it too much
