Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer

Question What is History all about and what do Historians do? Expert Teacher Answer

History is the study of the past. Historians find out all sorts of information that they then sort out to provide us with a picture of what life was like tens, hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The first thing that historians have to to do is to divide time and to place the events they are looking at into historical context. Historians use lots of different ways to divide time - from years, decades and centuries to eras - like the Tudor Period, or the Middle Ages. They must be careful to ensure that they put the correct person or artefact into the correct era- or else they will make the mistake of anachronism. Timelines are a useful way for historians to display events. Historians are like detectives. They investigate hundreds of sources looking for facts. They compare sources with what they already know and can then build up a picture of events. They ask vital questions such as why did something happen, when did it occur and what were the results? In order to find out this information the historian uses sources. Sources can be primary or secondary. Primary sources come from the period the historian is investigating whilst secondary sources generally come from a later period- for example a text book written about Henry VIII in 2005. Sources can be anything - from books and documents to buildings or even remains of food found by archaeologists. All of these things provide the historian with information. They analyse these sources asking questions in order to find the facts they require. They must be careful to spot biased documents- this is where the author has a prejudiced view - and it can lead to evidence being less than clearly presented!

Question How and with what success did the Normans expand their control over Britain? Expert Teacher Answer

William the Conqueror defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He still faced opposition and spent the next 20 years attacking enemies and establishing legal control via the Feudal System and by making people pay taxes. Monarchs used the Church to ensure that people stayed in check. Other Medieval monarchs expanded their control over Wales, Ireland and Scotland and also dealt with opposition within the Church fiercely. However, some Kings did have trouble and had to listen to the people's wishes. This led to the Magna Carta being granted in 1215 - which showed that some monarchs had to compromise.

Question Explain the connection between the ‘Black Death’ and the ‘Peasants’ Revolt’. Expert Teacher Answer

So many people had died during the Black Death that there was a shortage of workers. There weren’t enough people to work on the land so food was scarce. Prices had risen since the Black Death. Wages had not risen as fast, so the peasants suffered from hunger and shortages. To encourage those who had survived to stay on their manor, many lords had given the peasants on their estates their freedom and paid them to work on their land. Then the Statute of Labourers 1351 was passed to stop the peasants taking advantage of the shortage of workers and demanding more money. Many peasants feared that the lords would take back their privileges and they were prepared to fight for them, so they were ready for the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381.

Question How well did Elizabeth I cope with the problems of her reign? Expert Teacher Answer

When Elizabeth became queen, the country was split by religious arguments. She invented a middle way in an attempt to bridge the gap between Catholics and Protestants. She did have some success in this, but England was still a divided country when Elizabeth died. Catholics may never have forgiven Elizabeth for her decision to have Mary Queen of Scots executed. While it is believed that Elizabeth made this decision reluctantly, it is also true that she had no intention of allowing a Catholic to rule England. Elizabeth was very successful in re-establishing England as the strongest country in the world. The Spanish Armada was feared around Europe, but Elizabeth's navy left the Armada completely defeated by sending fireships into the tightly packed Spanish ships. Elizabeth also faced the problem of being probably the most powerful woman in the history of England. She once said that she had 'the body of a weak and feeble woman', but she was also much braver and intelligent than most of the Kings who had ruled before her, including her father Henry VIII. We can see evidence of Elizabeth's bravery and independence in the fact that, despite pressure from all sides, she never got married. She thought she was capable of ruling without a man's help, and she proved that this was correct. Elizabeth dealt skilfully and bravely with all of the problems of her reign and, in many ways, had a very successful reign.

Question In what ways were the Islamic states so successful in the period 600-1600? Expert Teacher Answer

After the beginning of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad was followed by 4 great Caliphs - under whom the extent of their empire grew quickly. It quickly expanded through the Middle East especially under Umar - who was a great warrior and just leader. However as Muslim influence expanded there were a number of different groups within Islam that vied for power and in the 760s a great new Islamic city was built in Baghdad, a city which grew rich on trade etc. This city rivalled Mecca in many ways. Apart from its great armies that invaded Europe and destroyed the old Roman Empire, Islam became a focal point for medieval discoveries in Science and Mathematics. Many Arab mathematicians invented different strands of maths - includinding algebra and trigonometry. Even the number Zero can be attributed to Islamic mathematicians. In science many Arab scientists produced new inventions- including the first watch, the pendulum, the telescope and perhaps even photography. Books on human and animal anatomy were produced and in geographical terms - the first map of the world. Arab discoveries then covered many fields and contributed much to the development of the world. Islamic architecture also offered much beauty with its decorative buildings and vast mosques. Between the 11th and 13th centuries many Christians tried to take back their holy city of Jerusalem which had fallen under Muslim control. These battles were known as the Crusades- and were fierce contests. Muslim armies won many battles and their leaders proved to be worthy warriors. Medical science improved as a result of these wars also. By the 16th century the Ottomans had taken control of the Muslim empire and it stretched from Saudi Arabia across Europe and into Africa. The achievements of the Islamic states in many fields were vast- and their power held firm for many more years.

Question Why were portraits so important in Tudor times? Expert Teacher Answer

We must remember that in Tudor times there were no photographs or television, and the only time people got to see their king or queen was through a portrait. For this reason, kings and queens were very keen that they should be painted in a positive light. Henry VIII was always keen that his many faults were not known by the public. As he got older there were rumours that he had got very fat, and he was also very greedy and wasteful with money. To counter these rumours, Henry would have himself painted looking very thoughtful or attractive. His daughter Elizabeth I also knew the importance of portraits. Many people doubted her because she was a woman, and even more so when she refused to get married, but she would have portraits painted of her with many meaningful symbols. For example, the famous rainbow portrait shows her with a snake (representing wisdom) and a rainbow (representing peace). Tudor monarchs also knew how to use portraits to make their enemies look bad. Henry VII argued with Richard III over who should be king, so he used portraits to make Richard look like he had a hunched back and an ugly face. People at that time would not want somebody with physical deformities to be king. Henry VII also spread rumours that Richard III had killed his two nephews in the Tower of London. Modern historians have shown that this is probably not true. Henry VIII had beautiful paintings of his wives painted, but when he grew tired of them he had very unattractive pictures painted to make his wives less popular. He would then be able to divorce them. He himself was tricked by a portrait, however, when he fell in love with Anne of Cleves after seeing a very flattering painting of her. When she arrived, he found she was very ugly and the marriage only lasted a very short time! Portraits do not tell us everything about the time, but they are very useful in showing us how each of the Tudor monarchs wanted to be perceived by the people of England.

Question What were the causes of the Civil Wars in England and what effect did they have on the way the country was run after 1649?


The Civil War had many causes. King Charles I believed that he had inherited his power from God and could not be questioned. However, many people in Parliament questioned his extravagant lifestyle and his demands for taxes like Ship Money. Charles decided that he could rule without Parliament and he did so - for 11 years! This caused some anger. His religious policies also caused problems- as his adviser William Laud tried to make Church services more ornate- upsetting Puritans. In Scotland when he tried to make the Scots use the English Prayer book, England was attacked by a Scottish army and forced to give in. Parliament was recalled and tried to force Charles to do as they wished, but he retaliated by trying to arrest 5 MPs who had criticised him. Parliament raised its own army and Civil War began. The results of the Civil War were varied. Parliament's army became well-trained and disciplined and defeated Charles in a number of battles. Politically, Charles was executed and England became a country without a King- led first by Parliament and then by the military dictator, Cromwell. Socially- Cromwell pursued a policy of religious toleration - although Puritan beliefs were enforced on daily life- including the banning of Christmas and the wearing of plain, simple clothes in dark colours. Many groups spoke out against him- including the Levellers and the Diggers- but these groups were dealt with harshly, as were the threats from Ireland and Scotland. When he retired he encouraged his son to take his position, but unable to live up to the task, some civil war soldiers asked Charles' son - also Charles to return and restore stability to England. However, because of the results of the Civil War he had to agree to share power with Parliament

Question How united was the Kingdom between 1688 and 1746? Expert Teacher Answer

Between 1688 and 1745 there were many problems in England, Scotland and Ireland- mainly caused by religion. The split between Catholics and Protestants that had emerged during the Reformation continued to divide people. James II was King in 1688, but his Catholic tendencies caused much trouble. He had similar tendencies to his father- Charles I - in that he felt he could ignore Parliament. He appointed Catholics to the Privy Council and in 1687 James introduced the Declaration of Indulgence. This restored rights to Catholics and Dissenting Protestants. People who protested against the Declaration of Indulgence were sent to prison. When, in 1688, James forced all the Anglican clergy to read the Declaration in their churches, he met with opposition. The final straw came with the birth of a son- James - who many claimed had been smuggled into his wife's room and wasn't their child at all! In 1688 a group of Anglican MPs called for William of Orange and James' daughter Mary to take the throne as practising Protestants. William arrived in England with a force of men and James soon fled- his men abandoning him. However he did find support in France and in the Catholic strongholds of Scotland and Ireland. It was from Ireland that he decided to launch an attempt to win back his throne in 1689- although William defeated him at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Catholics in Ireland were promised freedom of religion - but in the years that followed this was not allowed. This became a source of much discontent. In Scotland William of Orange was similarly hated when he refused to allow investments in Scottish imperial ventures. However- it was the massacre of the MacDonald Clan at Glencoe that saw highland hatred for William increase. In 1707 the Act of Union also angered many Scots who wanted to remain independent. The focal point of Scottish unrest became the son of James II - James Edward Stuart- who led severall rebellions in the period to 1715- although these all failed. When he decided to remain in exile- it was his son - Bonnie Prince Charlie who roused Scottish hopes once more in 1745. He led his men into England - to Preston and as far as Derby - but he was forced to turn back and despite a gallant victory at Falkirk, the Jacobite cause was effectively ended at Culloden. However the brutal murder of Scottish clansmen by English troops after this meant that Scottish hatred towards the Union continued.

Question Why was there a Revolution in France and what were its effects? Expert Teacher Answer

Under the Ancien Regime, France was a country where inequality was the norm. The poorest people were unfairly taxed and only the King had any say in how the country was run. However, after a number of wars and because of some excessive spending by his Austrian wife, Louis XVI ran out of money and he had to call a meeting of the Estates-General to raise new taxes. The nobles and middle classes said that they wanted a greater say in how things were done. Louis at first refused, but after the Middle Classes swore their Tennis Court Oath- Louis knew he would have to agree to their demands. Radical working class people in the towns were also unhappy with the King and demanded changes. Their unhappiness can be seen when they stormed the Bastille and made the King accept the Revolution and its changes. One big effect of the Revolution was the execution of the King who refused to accept all of the changes and tried to escape from Paris. He was caught at Varennes and despite agreeing to a new constitution, he still refused to compromise on the Church reforms and was executed in 1792. After this a period of Terror was started by radical Jacobins who put to death a number of people who disagreed with the Revolution including Marie Antoinette. The effects on France were devastating and in 1794 the Terror ended. It was finally replaced by the Directory until Napoleon Bonaparte stabilised France after 1799. The Revolution brought many changes - including the ending of the Monarchy, and a fair spreading of taxation across all classes.

Question What were the causes of the Industrial Revolution and how far was Britain changed by it? Expert Teacher Answer

The Industrial Revolution was caused by many different factors. New businessmen and inventors saw a need to move away from the old-fashioned and slow way of doing things under the domestic system. They wanted to make more money and take advantage of a growing population. Inventions like the Spinning Jenny and Water Frame saw labour move into big factories around which towns sprang up. Agricultural workers were also affected as they now had to move into towns looking for work. Apart from the growth of factories, transport also improved with the development of canals, roads and railways. There were however many problems, including unemployment, overcrowded housing in the cities and conditions in the cities were so poor that they led to the outbreak of diseases like cholera. Dissatisfied workers also attacked the changes that were taking place - for example the Luddites and the Swing Rioters. However, by the end of the 19th century things were improving with factory reforms, and with the growth of railways, providing cheap travel. Interestingly enough, industrialisation did not change all businesses into big money-making ventures - most businesses in Britain were still small-scale.

Question What was middle class life like in Britain in 1900? Expert Teacher Answer

The middle classes emerged in the 19th century having made their fortunes in industry and commerce. However, by 1900, the middle classes were occupied in many different types of employment, ranging from managers to shopkeepers to accountants. The middle classes had many values. Women were supposed to stay at home and look after the family, whilst men, as head of the household, went out to work. Family life was strict. Children were supposed to 'be seen and not heard'. They were looked after by nannies and private tutors, once they were old enough, or sent to public schools. In 1900, the occupations of the middle class varied. With hard work, it was possible to progress into the middle class, as proved by Michael Marks, who set up Marks and Spencer. Other middle class men, like William Henry Charlton, were able to retire early to pursue their hobbies, such as painting. As 1900 approached, the invention of the tram and the railway allowed the middle classes to move out of town centres and into the suburbs. These were brighter places with more trees and fresh air. Middle class housing was spacious to accommodate families and their servants. Certain rooms in the house were extremely important, most notably the parlour and the kitchen. With greater wealth, leisure activities became extremely important. Sports were an integral part of middle class lesiure, with cricket, tennis, croquet, rugby and football all being given rules in this period, so that the middle classes could compete. Holidays to the seaside were another aspect of leisure with resorts, like Blackpool and Brighton, catering for middle and working class holidaymakers. Music halls, once looked down upon by middle class Victorians, smartened up their image with separate seats and entrances and became very popular. Middle class women also began to find their voices by 1900. Some started to go out to work, becoming doctors, teachers and nurses. Other women found a voice in social campaigns, such as in the Temperance Movement or those against family violence.

Question What were the successes of the various Mughal leaders and why did the Mughals fall from power?


The Mughal empire grew from humble beginnings in Turkestan under Babur. Babur embraced new technology such as firearms and conquered all of Hindustan and other parts of INdia. However, it was his grandson, Akbar who managed to build on Babur's foundations and actually subdue most of India. Akbar was not only a great general but also a good administrator too. As a Muslim, he practiced religious toleration to other groups - most notably in his abolition of the tax placed on all-non Muslims. This act was extremely popular. He also allowed Hindu regions to retain their own customs. Under Akbar and the following rulers, there were many innovations in architecture- including the building of the Red Palace in Delhi and the Taj Mahal. However, the extravagance of these projects led to financial problems for the Mughals- something that weakened their control over the empire. The decline of the Mughul empire can be traced to the reign of Aurangzeb. THe Mughuls had no clear policy of succession and there was much fighting about who would lead the empire after Shah Jehan. Aurangzeb ruled for 49 years but under his reign there was much fighting by various tribes who wanted their independence - including the Marathas. Aurangzeb was a very strict Muslim and he brought back many of the old laws against other religions that Akbar had stamped out- inclusing the tax on non- Muslims. This caused great anger. Sikhs and Marathas formed breakaway governments and there was much in-fighting amongst the empire. One of the major problems that the Mughul empire faced was from the arrival of the Europeans- most notably the British. The East India Company set up trading posts in different areas of India- and gradually introduced more soldiers to guard these. Small Indian states began to pay money to the Company for military protection. The East India Company overcame resistance in Bombay, Mysore and Bengal- effectively ruling India. The British had accelerated the demise of the Mughals. In the 19th century the East India Company gradullay saw a decline in their influence - because of financial troubles and after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 - where Indians tried to gain independence once more - the British took over control of India under the Empire.

Question How and why did Britain gain and expand its empire in the period up to 1900- via trade, exploration, war and missionaries?


By 1900 Britain's empire contained about 400 million people- almost 25% of the world. The empire had small beginnings under the Tudors but expanded rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries. Britain's merchants had grown in wealth throughout this period and were constantly looking for new markets abroad. Their production had increased thanks to the Industrial Revolution and trade flourished with other countries. Politically it made sense to control those markets and exploit the raw materials that each country had at their disposal. Other European countries were also looking for colonies - and Britain did not want to get left behind. The jewel in Britain's colonial empire was India - with its vast population and many natural resources. Initially, British control expanded through the East India Company who made trading alliances with local Princes and often helped them in their local disputes with other rulers. The company gained the right to tax Indians- and gradually took over more and more areas. There were rebellions against their rule - such as that of Siraj in 1756 and a larger uprising in 1857 - but British wealth and ties with important Indian princes ensured that India stayed within the empire. The government saw that it was in the national interest to govern India properly and took over from the East India Company after the 1857 mutiny. The importance of India was cemented by the opening of the Suez Canal - which offered a faster way to transport goods between the 2 countries and the importance of the link was confirmed when Queen Victoria was made Empress of India in 1877. Individual explorers also helped to expand the empire in their quest for knowledge and resources. Australia became another vital colony when the east coast was claimed by Cook in 1770. He continued to chart the Pacific Islands discovering many new lands there. However - Australia became very important as a colony for its resources and it was also used as a place where Britain could send its convicts to. Eventually many other people emigrated there and expanded westwards. America remained part of the empire until 1776- when it fought a war to free itself from British rule. Britain had colonised America for its resources and to allow religious minority groups to escape persecution at home. America grew up as 13 states paying tax to the Crown and fighting with the British against the French. However when the British finally defeated the French in the late 18th century, many Americans began to question whether they should now govern themselves. They complained about taxes being too high- and declared independence from Britain. Britain fought hard to retain America - but eventually had to give in. However it can be seen that the Empire was worth fighting over. Britain still retained control over Canada though. In the 19th century - Africa became a focus for the European powers. Resources were plentiful in some areas- and to many British people the Africans were uncivilised and ripe for colonisation. In fact religious missionaries like Livingstone discovered many new regions, whilst politicans and businessmen like Cecil Rhodes were quick to establish business links in the new areas. Britain quickly gathered many African colonies - although they upset many people in doing so.

Question In what ways did black people in the United States face racism in this period and how did they try to challenge this problem?


Many black people came to the USA as slaves and their life on plantations was hard. They were not treated equally, and they often endured cruel punishments like branding and whipping. Some Northerners tried to challenge the existence of slavery by setting up escape routes for slaves. Between 1861 and 1865 a war was fought to end slavery and this happened in 1863. However, life for black people did not improve much and they had to lead separate lives with poor facilities. Many black people challenged this in the Civil Rights Movement and they achieved great successes in ending segregation. One of the most famous civil rights leaders was Martin Luther King.

Question Why did it take so much longer for British women to gain the vote? Expert Teacher Answer

During the 19th century, a system of separate spheres existed, whereby women were expected to look after domestic issues , whereas men were seen to be in control of business, industry and politics. At the start of the 19th century not all men had the vote - indeed the political system was flawed- with big towns like Manchester and Liverpool having no MPs whilst rotten boroughs often returned 2!. Several groups campaigned for change - and there many disturbances in the period after 1815. There was seen to be a sense of injustice with men like Henry Hunt looking for a shift of power to the working classes. Events like the Peterloo Massacre and the Spa Fields Riots showed the government how dangerous working class radicalism could be, and in 1832 the Great Reform Act was passed - extending the vote to men in boroughs, and giving larger towns more representation in Parliament. The Act did disappoint though, and groups like teh Chartists forced more changes in 1867 and 1884 - extending the vote to more men. Women had been involved in the campaign for the extension of the vote, although few called for female suffrage at that time. Gradually however, women like Jospehine Butler, Harriet Taylor and Emmeline Pankhurst began to symbolise a growing discontent with the position of women in society and throughout the latter half of the 19th century, legal changes began to occur which allowed easier access to divorce, custody rights over children and the ability to own property. Gradually, attention turned to political reform. If more men were getting the vote, why not women? Organisations like the Suffragists and Suffragettes organised petitions and demonstrations, and when these failed the Suffragettes turned to violence. These tactics did not impress male politicians who imprisoned Suffragettes that committed violent acts. Once in jail these women then went on hunger strike and were forcefed, bringing more sympathy to their cause. World War One proved to be a decisive factor in the campaign for the vote as women threw themselves into war work, making munitions and filling in for the men who were away. This work won the admiration of the politicans and when the war was over they extended the vote to men over the age of 18 and women over 30. This did not please all women, but it was the beginning of more political changes

Question Why has it been so hard to achieve peace in Ireland? Expert Teacher Answer

Ireland's troubles have been inextricably linked with the policy of successive British governments who have viewed Ireland as strategically important for Britain's defence. In the 17th and 18th centuries British settlers - Protestant in religion- settled in Northern Ireland driving the native Irish from their homes and into poverty. Cromwell's armies also massacred many innocent civilians at Drogheda in 1649- causing more deep seated anger towards the British. In the 19th century British landlords drove tenants from their farms, and their cruel acts, coupled with the natural potato famine of the 1840s began to make some Irish nationalists desire some element of Home Rule- that is control by an Irish rather than an English government. The Prime Minster Gladstone tried to help the Irish cause but each time his plans were knocked back, the Irish nationalists became more volatile. As the 20th century began, the IRB had been formed and some wanted to take home rule by force from the British. During 1916 when WW1 was being force Irish Nationalists under Collins seized their chance and seized Dublin in the Easter Rising. However they were crushed by the British army. The period between 1918 and 1922 saw the creation of a divided Ireland with self government for the South but the North continued to be under British control. This did not please all and a bitter civil war was fought between those who accepted partition and those who wanted a full Ireland. Over the next 40 years the Catholics in the North were discriminated against by Protestants and in teh 60s they began to go on Civil Rights marches. These often ended in violence as in 1972 when army officers shot dead 13 civilians who were unarmed. This incident saw an escalation in support for the IRA and more violence forcing Britain to once more take control of Ireland. THe IRA continued a bombing campaign throughout the 80s and other measures included hunger strikes in prisons for those nationalists who were said to be mistreated. The turning point came in 1987 with the bombing of 11 innocent civilians by the IRA at Enniskillen. The IRA apologised, but it made the British government more resolved for peace. Several initiatives have been tried - including the Good Ffriday agreement of 1998. This has proved to be tricky to implement but all sides are working to further peace.

Question In what ways did warfare change in the 20th century? Expert Teacher Answer

There were many wars in the 20th century including 2 major World Wars. Initially technology forced soldiers to fight in trenches and there was only a small chance of civilians in Britain being attacked. Soldiers had the new weapons of machine guns and gas bombs and towards the end of the war planes and tanks were being used for the first time. By World War Two- technology had progressed to such an extent that Hitler was able to use Blitzkrieg effectively - using tanks and planes. Indeed the plane became a very important weapon as it enabled both Britain and Germany to bomb innocent civilians in Britain and Germany. The devastation caused by the Blitz in Britain and by the bombing of Dresden caused untold damage to thousands of citizens. The introduction of the Atomic Bomb during World War Two was to change the face of war totally. America dropped 2 of the most powerful bombs ever created on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - completely destroying these 2 cities and causing radioactive problems for years to come. The development of these bombs infuriated the Russians who immediately after WW2, began to seize control of Eastern Europe - notably through the Berlin Blockade and then the creation of the Berlin Wall. Russia decided that the only way to protect herself was to take control of the countries around her. A Cold War developed - meaning taht no actual fighting took place - for fear of nuclear devastation. Russia and America could have caused millions of deaths but incidents such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War brought the politicians to their senses and during the 1970s both countries agreed a truce. By the end of the 1990s Communism was almost dead.

Question How did the Holocaust develop after Hitler wrote Mein Kampf and how did it affect the Jews of Europe?


The Holocaust is the name given to the victimisation, persecution and mass-murder of Jews in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. After losing The First World War, Germany was punished very harshly by The Treaty of Versailles, and there was a great deal of poverty and starvation in the country. Hitler, leader of the Nazis, had always hated Jews. He believed that they were responsible for all the problems in Germany. The people of Germany accepted this because they were glad to have a scapegoat (someone to blame) for all that had gone wrong. The first major example of persecution of Jews was introduction of The Nuremberg Race Laws in 1935. It was then stepped up in November 1938 on The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) in which Jewish shops, businesses, homes and synagogues were destroyed by the SS and Nazi storm-troopers. Jews were forced to live in ghettos and later, during the war, were sent to concentration camps. The most notorious concentration camp was Auschwitz, where hundreds of thousands of Jews were murdered, mostly in the gas chambers. This was not known by most German people and the true extent of the Holocaust only became known after the war. There were some examples of opposition and resistance to the Holocaust, but these were usually dealt with so severely that other people were scared to resist. With The Second World War lost, Nazi officers fled and Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Union. They found a sickening trail of suffering and death which remains probably the most shocking act of mass murder in history.

Question How far has modern medicine developed to improve the lives of 20th century people? Expert Teacher Answer

At the start of the 20th century, healthcare was not free and a person could only receive treatment if they could afford it. Healthcare was not specialised- with doctors being general medical advisors. The Liberal governments between 1906-1918, spurred by problems of national efficiency and the rise of the Labour Party, created a series of reforms which improved public health in Britain. Reforms were passed in Housing, Education and Welfare and became the basis of later developments in the NHS. Medical advances also emerged after WW1. Penicillin was invented and refined and became important in the curing of many diseases and infections. Vaccinations for diseases like TB and Polio were found, and X-rays helped patients in hospitals. Perhaps the biggest advance in medical care came with the establishment of the NHS in 1948 by Aneurin Bevan. This established the principle of free healthcare for all - no matter what their ability to pay. All healthcare services were put under one roof- and over the next 40 years pioneering scientists began to discover new methods for transplants, and worked on cures for other major diseases. However, the NHS suffered problems after 1951, when it was discovered that it cost too much money. Prescriptions and dental treatment have to be paid for and throughout the 1970s and 1980s hospitals have found themselves in debt and with long waiting queues for operations. The Labour governments from 1998 onwards have tried to tackle this issue by granting more money to the healthcare authorities but there is still a long way to go to realise Aneurin Bevan's dream. World Healthcare is a far cry from Britain's NHS - with many developing world people suffering from diseases that we have long since stamped out. Poverty and a lack of investment is a problem and charities like Oxfam and Unicef are working to bring an end to the problems that these countries are facing. Medical advances have brought many changes to the lives of many people, but financial restraints still play a large part in healthcare throughout the world.

Question How significant have the scientific changes since the 17th century been in changing the world?


Until the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, science tended to be seen as mystical - and was seen to support the religious theories of the various churches throughout the world. Aristotle's model of the solar system stood out as the major scientific theory on the subject- and this had been recorded in 350 b.c. Aristotle saw the earth as being the centre of the universe with the sun and all the planets revolving around it. However - his theories were challenged by Copernicus - who proved that it was the earth that revolved around the sun. His theories were extremely controversial. Religious scholars did not like the fact that humans were no longer the centre as it cast doubts over God's work. His work also raised questions such as how could the earth be moving since people did not fall off the planet! Copernicus' ideas gave the impetus for many more experiments and scientific discoveries. Galileo proved Copernicus' ideas with his telescope- but this got him in trouble with the Catholic Church who forced him to retract his views and put him under house arrest for the rest of his life! The scientific revolution also gave rise to men such as Isaac Newton - who was able to explain the ideas of Copernicus and Galileo when he proved the theory of gravity- this is what kept people on the planet when it was spinning so quickly. He also established a universal system of scientifc laws which allowed scientists to make exact discoveries. His work was essential to the rest of the scientific revolution. Men such as Hooke and Boyle worked hard to make advances in physics and natural sciences, whilst others such as William Harvey made great strides in developing modern surgical techniques- finding out about blood circulation for example. He received great renown for this- particularly in the later years of his life. The 19th century saw an even greater surge of scientific discovery - led by Darwin - who produced his theory of evolution following his voyage on the Beagle to discover new life forms. Darwin's theories continue to be controversial to this day. He stated that all life had evolved from a single source and that via natural selection some species have a greater ability to survive. His theories were attacked by religious leaders who felt that he was calling into question the Bible and its theories of creation. Scientists strongly defended him- but even in the 20th century his work has caused many debates- from the Scopes Monkey trial of 1925 in the USA to the racial theories behind Naziism. In medical research men like Pasteur and Koch advanced medicine through germ research - proving that diseases were passed by germs. Pasteur developed vaccinations- an important aspect of 20th century medicine. Koch was able to isolate the germs that caused particular diseases - finding cures for the biggest diseases of his day- anthrax and tb. Their work was groundbreaking in the medical world and led on to further developments in the 20th century. Perhaps the greatest 20th century achievement in science came in 1911 when Ernest Rutherford split the atom in Manchester. He was able to formulate atomic theory - which led on to the harnessing of nuclear energy. This has many uses - from the medical uses of radioactivity- including scanning and treatments for cancer, to the development of nuclear power- which is a more reliable, yet dangerous form of energy for the world. However, Rutherford's work did pave the way for the Manhatten Project of the 1940s - where Enrico Formi and J. Robert Oppenheimer were able to develop an atomic bomb - used to terrible effect in Hiroshima and Nagasaki - casting a shadow over world affairs for the next 40 years

Question In what ways did Hitler change twentieth century history? Expert Teacher Answer

To many historians, Hitler is the most evil leader of the 20th century. He instigated a Second World War which saw the deaths of millions and he set up a regime in Germany that was characterised by fear and terror. His biggest crime, however, was the forced extermination of many racial groups - most notably the Jews of Europe in the Holocaust. However, these were not the only changes that Hitler brought to the world. To many contemporaries, this was a man who revived Germany after financial problems at the end of the 1920s, and who constantly opposed the hated Treaty of Versailles- forcing European leaders to back down to Germany's demands. Many Germans were prepared to overlook the more unsavoury aspects of his regime as they had full employment, better facilities and the best motorways in Europe. Germany was a major power in Europe once more and its economy was successful. All of this appeared to be due to one man. His actions though can be seen as rather hypocritical - as it became clear during the Second World War, that Germany's progress had been geared to the sole aim of expanding its borders and creating war in Europe. This was what motivated Hitler - along with his extremely racist views. His most terrible legacy can be seen in the Holocaust which followed on from the most terrible aspects of his police state in Germany. Concentration camps had been set up for opponents of the Nazis in 1933 - and people were tortured, beaten up and killed for merely speaking their views. Hitler's propaganda glossed over these things. His SS officers became an even greater instrument of terror to the Jews of Germany who were persecuted in the years leading up to WW2 - all because of Hitler's beliefs. As WW2 commenced Jews were taken to concentration camps, and when other countries such as Poland and Russia were invaded and the Jews under Hitler's control grew - he came up with an appalling 'Final Solution' - the murder of 6 million innocent civilians. Extermination camps were set up with gas chambers- and Jews were sent by rail to these death camps, from all over Europe. Gypsies, homosexuals and other racial groups were also targeted. Hitler's beliefs and motivations certainly changed the shape of the twentieth century - progress in Germany before 1939 was used to create evil in the years of the 2nd World War
