29th April 2010

Spoke with Mr Stewart today about possible questions-

To what extent can the fall of the Berlin Wall and East Germany be attributed to domestic factors as apposed to international factors?

Within this question, I will look at how the fall of the wall was perceived in both sides of Germany (East and West) and also in the Soviet Union.

This question falls under Option 5- War and Society
The essay will demonstrate the student's research skills, understanding of historical concepts, and ability to evaluate the causes or war, or the course of war, or the impact of war on the lives of individuals and their communities.


Bibliography also updated.

Looked through my dad's war book collection and found some good titles (adding to bibliography soon). Some not directly on the Berlin Wall but rather giving me an insight into the situation in Germany and other European nations during the Second World War.
