Welcome to the Revision Guide to Britain 1906-1951. This booklet contains the essential content and detail you will need for your exam.
Quick Introduction – what you need to know
This course in a nutshell –
Britain between 1906 and 1951 underwent many crises (Two world wars, General Strike, Great Depression, poverty and ill health) – how well did the Governments of the time respond to these?
There were also lots of changes during this time (votes for women, people getting richer and poorer, Ireland, political change) – but just how much did Britain change or stay the same?
EXAM STRUCTURE
The exam will always consist of three questions, of which you choose two.
The two questions are broken down into a 12 mark and a 24 mark question.
The 12 mark question asks you to explain an event or a process.
The 24 mark question asks you to weigh up or evaluate how important or successful something was.
These questions could be on anything in the course, so it is vital that you not only learn your content but practice applying it in questions. Use the structure and the question bank contained in this pack to start revising and practicing as soon as possible.
