Just plain wrong
Wronger than a wrong thing that's got a special reason to be wrong.
Nationalists grew to like internment.
No, no, they didn't.
By signing the Anglo-German Naval Agreement GB allowed Germany to build up its ships to 35% of theirs. That's how they invaded Poland.
Oh you were doing so well. It was the second sentence that let you down, incase you're interested.
Hitler used his televised speeches to condemn the Weimar government and spread his actions.
Right, your general overview of history is poor. And 'spread his actions'? Actions are not like Nutella. You knew that, right?
Nationalists were angry that the first unionists were not imprisoned until February 1934.
I would have thought they were having too much fun in their time travel machine to be angry.
Civil rights protesters had placards which read 'houses in need' and sang songs like 'We shall not overcome'.
Hardly the right attitude to protest with.
There was a naval base where ships could leave or enter Omagh.
I am going to make it my life's mission to educate students that the counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone are land locked.
Eire did not undergo blackouts. This worried Britain and NI as it meant that Luftwaffe were able to see the position of Belfast and London in relation to neutral Eire.
Bit of a stretch, that.
Collective responsibility is a long time ago convention that means that everything that happens in parliament stays in parliament.
No, see what you're doing there is confusing Parliament and Vegas. And parliament and cabinet for that matter.
Think it through
Double dare you.
Chamberlain asked Hitler twice if he could help Britain out in return for NI.
Right, so let's think about that one again. 'Hitler, help us fight the war against Hitler's Germany...' Yes, see what you did there?
British RAF pilots knew the land they were flying over better than the Luftwaffe pilots so they could take advantage of the airspace.
Right, so land, air, land, air. One you can walk on, one you fly through.
Stresemann had to face difficult problems when Wilhelm formed a new government and made him the Kaiser.
Right, so remember World War One, Germany lost, the Kaiser ran away? NEW government, you said it yourself.
Direct rule meant that the Irish government was taken over and everything was handled by the British government.
Right, so remember 1922, the Free State, 1947 and independence? This all could have been sorted with one word: Northern. It's not what you wrote though, is it?
Violence increased in the summer of 1969 because this is when Britain wanted to unite with NI.
Right, so remember 1922 and NI stayed part of the UK? And the war when NI fought with Britain? Now, put all that together and tell me about 1969 again.
Facebook status syndrome
This is on the rise. I blame the Social Network.
Although people knew how to 'play the stock market' most people where normal Americans who had not got a clue.
You know, they're not the only ones who don't have a clue.
The Provisional IRA was born in December. They believed that violence was the answer to all NI's problems but they hadn't noticed they were actually making it worse.
Well with them being but an infant...
What they believed was wrong and they were blitzed by German planes.
Ah yes, to blitz. I was blitzed, you were blitzed, he was blitzed, we were blitzed, they were blitzed.
Hitler built the western wall around the Rhine to ensure it was never invaded and afterwards stated 'He who dares, wins'.
Rodders.
The Lib Dems practically threw their manifesto out the window to remain in power with the Cons.
Ah the old out the window trick, it's very common in politics.
After the hyperinflation Germany's currency was messed up.
Like, so messed up?
Unionists and nationalists didn't like direct rule because they wanted NI to be its own boss, they thought that it was stupid being ruled by another country.
I think you forgot to write 'lol' at the end of that.
The age of the understatement
Like the last shadow puppets.
Hindenberg appointed Hitler as Chancellor in 1933. Some may say it was a bad decision.
Some? Really? You're trying to sit on the fence with that one?
To be imprisoned for standing for your beliefs is unacceptable in a nationalist view.
Just out of interest, who views it as acceptable?
Dear Examiner
Alas, not actual letters, but there was an increased fear that I wouldn't be able to work out how an answer booklet works. Let me tell you, dear candidate, I didn't get to my lofty position of marking your exam paper without having to turn a page or two.
Here are just some examples.
 |
| France? And then what? Don't leave me hanging. Oh wait, this helpful arrow tells me to continue on the opposite page. Phew. |
 |
| Stresemann? What about him. Oh thank goodness. Now I know that I did indeed need to read what I just read. One continuous sentence you say?! |
 |
| Well thank goodness you told me. I thought you were done. |
 |
| Very polite. But I am not an idiot. |
 |
| You know, the writing on the opposite page was enough to tell me to look over there. I didn't need this arrow, nor did I need it circled. But thanks. |
 |
| Call that an arrow? Sure I'd hardly notice that. |
 |
| Good to know. You spell it 'writing' by the way. |
 |
| No, you're (w)right, you have nothing to apologise for. |
Like I might have mentioned before, exam marking is stressful, boring, and pushes you to the edge in ways you thought not possible.
