Merry Christmas! Please enjoy your break! Please remember that you have a multiple choice test on Tuesday, January 6th. This test will cover material from the Authoritarian and Single-Party States unit, and will use old Diploma Exam questions. On Friday, January 9th you will write a Paper 2 on Topic 3: Authoritarian and Single-Party States. Please see this post for advice on how to write a Paper 2. Remember for this Paper 2 that you're writing on January 9, 2015 you only need to know Hitler and Stalin. I split you into three large groups: Mao, Castro and Peron. Each of your groups will need to be further subdivided into the following subtopics:
  • origins and nature of the single-party state (in Mao's China, Castro's Cuba and Peron's Argentina)
  • establishment of authoritarian and single-party states
  • domestic policies and impact: political, economic, social and religious policies; status of women, treatment of religious groups and minorities
Ultimately, each group will need to put together a substantial presentation on their assigned dictator and these sub-topics.
