HSC Modern History Question Thread

--- Quote from: Justin_L on August 08, 2020, 10:26:31 am ---Hey y'all, I've been revising the power and authority common module and realised that I don't actually understand this dotpoint:
The rise of dictatorships after World War 1
- an overview of the features of the dictatorships that emerged in Russia, Italy, Japan
What do "features" actually refer to? Characteristics to which they were dictatorships/totalitarian?
And what could they ask for this? My class notes just provide a very broad biography of the leaders (Stalin, Mussolini, and Tojo), and I'm not quite sure how to study/practice for this dotpoint. Right now, it just keeps like a catch-all to ask anything about any of these states.
Any insights would be appreciated!

Hi Justin,
While I do study Modern History, I study the QCE version so I may not be able to help you to a full extent, but I can certainly help breakdown the dot-point for you. In terms of your module, and how it relates to "power" and "authority", I can assume that this dot point may require you to summarise, analyse or compare and contrast the "features" of the Russian, Italian and Japanese dictatorships. So personally, I would summarise the key similarities and differences between the dictatorships e.g. their ideologies, their purpose etc. and then, if required (or just in case), I would analyse the significance/effect of these dictatorships on the events of World War I e.g. how these dictatorships influenced the events of World War I.
Hopefully, that helps to some degree :)
Have a great weekend and kind regards,
Darcy Dillon.

Hey Justin, just adding onto Darcy's great response!
One of the big differences between the Germany study of the old syllabus and the new Power and Authority core is the notion of 'dictatorships'. So yes features of the dictatorships would mean the characteristics of each dictator, their ideologies, policies etc. My teacher has said that any of the dictators are able to be asked in the HSC, e.g. a question could ask you about Mussolini's dictatorship., or Stalin's ideology, etc.
Hope this helped!

Thanks guys! That definitely clears things up, I suppose I'll just have to investigate all of the countries and just know them in detail.
