How to Start a World War - Hitler Style

As you may know, Hitler was a politically obsessed man. He desired to make Germany and Austria unite into a great country, along the side of Britain, planning to destroy communism in the USSR. Growing up as a very disturbed individual with a strong character, he turned the Jews into scapegoats and killed millions.. Wanna know how to do that? Then this is the right post for you! Step 1 - Become a Dictator After the wall street crash,...

Physics 2a - Remembering your Units!!

A big mistake made by students when they are trying to use formula triangles is that they always number crunch with the wrong units! Physics 2a is FILLED with formula triangles, and I felt that it was just important to make a post which would go through all of the units that you need to know. Read through the list, and try to familiarize or even remember them! ... And here the list begins.. Acceleration - m/s² Velocity - m/s (+ a direction) Time...

Physics 2a - Work Done

What is 'Work Done'? The 'work done' is the same thing as 'energy transferred'.  To do work, you must move something over a distance.. and to do this, you must have an object to move, a distance to move it over, and a force to move the object - this is the basis of doing work. For example, work is done when you sweep with a broom: You have to provide a force; an effort to move the dirt over a distance. Energy is being transferred. (Bear...

Physics 2a - Resultant Forces

What is a Resultant Force? Forces always come in pairs. If you have one force, there will always be another opposing it; on the same line. For example, gravity's opposing force is the reaction force. The resultant force is the calculated overall force from to opposing forces. To calculate resultant forces, you must add or subtract the two opposing forces from each other. By doing this, you will get ONE simplified force from the TWO forces. Let's...

An Introduction to the League of Nations

Why was the League of Nations created? Before WW1, the alliance system was in place which divided Europe into 2 main alliances: The Triple Entente and the Central Powers. These alliances were where the main powers had agreed to have each other's backs, meaning that if one of the countries were in the midst of a dispute, the entire alliance would have to come in to help sort it out. However, the alliance system had led to WW1. After the murder...

How did the failures of the League of Nations contribute to WW2?

There were many things that the League was lacking which had led to its failure. Here, I will describe some reasons as to why Hitler disregarded the League, and why WW2 started. The League did not have an army Although Clemenceau, the leader of France, had said that the League should own it's own army, it did not. This was because Britain and other countries were selfish with their men. In the Paris Peace Conference, the leaders had come to decision...

Hitler's Motives

Hitler had published all of his motives publicly, to the world, in 'Mein Kampf' - the book that he had wrote while he was in prison. He published this book in 1924, however, between 1933 and 1939, his plans came to life.  Funfact :3 : In most books, 'the' is the most used word, however in 'Mein Kampf', the most used word was 'Jew' Here were Hitler's 3 main motives: Defeat Communism! Hitler was completely anti-Communist. He had hoped to...

The Treaty of Neuilly, 1919 - Bulgaria

The Treaty of Neuilly is an easy treaty to learn as it didn't have many terms. Bulgaria played only a small part in WW1, and therefore wasn't treated very harshly. However, they were still punished, and some land was taken away from them to help build the new countries etc. To read about the other treaties, please click the following links: The Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of St. Germain The Treaty of Trianon The Treaty of Sèvres TERMS: Bulgaria...

The Treaty of Sèvres, 1920 - Turkey

The Treaty of Sèvres failed. It was a harsh treaty made for Turkey. Turkey was a tricky country to deal with. It's position on the map was very valuable as it could control the straits running in the Black Sea. This treaty considered to equal  the harshness of the treaty of Versailles TERMS: Turkey was to give Smyrna to Greece. Syria, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco were to become mandates under the protection and control of Britain...

The Treaty of Trianon, 1920 - Hungary

With the new sketches that were created for Europe, Austria-Hungary was split into Austria and Hungary. There was one new treaty for each country. The treaty that dealt with Austria was 'The Treaty of St. Germain'. In this post, I will be talking about the treaty that dealt with Hungary: 'The Treaty of Trianon' The Treaty of Trianon, 1920 TERMS: Transylvania and other former Hungarian territories to be taken from Hungary and to be given...

The Treaty of St. Germain, 1919 - Austria

After WW1, the fate of Germany's allies were also discussed at the Paris Peace Conference. A strong ally of Germany throughout the first world war was Austria-Hungary. However, this country collapsed in 1918 due to the treaties. Britain, France, America and Italy redrew the European maps. As part of the new sketches for Europe, Austria-Hungary was split into 2 countries. Up until today, we still know them as Austria and Hungary. In this post, I will...

The German Reaction to the Treaty of Versailles

The Germans were disgusted at the terms of 'The Treaty of Versailles'. Before WW1, all countries were waging for war, all believing that they would win. The German public were oblivious to the fact that they had lost. They thought that the German government had agreed to a 'ceasefire'. This lead even more to the shock of the terms to their treaty.. Germans were furious at having to accept such a harsh treaty without even the right to a comment. They...

The Terms of the Treaty of Versailles 1919

In 'The Treaty of Versailles' of 1919, there were 5 main controversial terms. You can remember these terms through the acronym: T.R.A.W.L 1.  T - Territories & Colonies Germany was now forbidden to join together with her former ally Austria. This was done to prevent them from becoming stronger and a threat to other countries quicker through Austria's help. Germany's colonies became MANDATES. This meant that they would be...

Physics 2a - Weight, Mass & Gravity

What is Gravity? Gravity is the force of attraction between all masses, which can be seen on big scales. For example, our solar system is held together my gravity. Also, blackholes are a GREAT example and source of gravity. Gravity can be seen through the way that things accelerate towards the ground. If you throw a ball up in the air, it will fall back down to the floor and accelerate. Gravity changes in different places around the universe....

Physics 2a - Acceleration Formula Triangle

Here, is the acceleration formula triangle. It's like any other formula triangle except for the '(v-u)' bit at the top. Instead of simply entering a value, you have to work out a CHANGE IN VELOCITY. 'v' stands for the initial velocity and 'u' stands form the final velocity. You have to take away u from v which will give you this change in velocity.  Let's look at some examples... Use the formula triangle to find what equation you need...

Physics 2a - Velocity-Time Graphs

In an earlier post, I talked about distance-time graphs, which was one of the types of graphs you needed to know for the further science exam. You can read more about that type of graph if you click here! Here, I will talk about the other way to describe and object's journey: the velocity-time graph! How to Read Velocity-Time Graphs This type of graph is very similar to the distance-time graph except that the Y-axis is the velocity (m/s). You...

Physics 2a - Distance-Time Graphs

There are two different graphs which can be used to describe how an object travels. For Physics 2a, you need to be able to know the difference between them, and how to read them. The first type is a Distance-Time Graph :D How to Read Distance-Time Graphs Distance-Time Graphs are very easy to understand. The X-axis represents the time (secs) and the Y-axis represents the distance. Below is an example of a distance-time graph: The graph has been...
